The “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024” is gearing up to be a thrilling online event, and if you’re a fan of the game, you won’t want to miss it. Hosted by Nintendo of Europe SE, this exciting competition uses the wildly popular Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game on the Nintendo Switch.
On December 6th, mark your calendars and prepare for some exciting battles. The event kicks off at 6 PM CET (or 5 PM if you’re in the UK) and runs for two full hours. It welcomes participants from across Europe, including nations such as France, Italy, and Sweden, to name just a few. However, players from far-flung areas like the Azores and Svalbard might find it tricky to join due to their distance from central Europe.
To dive into the competition, players need a Nintendo Account set to one of the eligible countries and an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. Whether you’re on a paid plan or using a free trial, you’ll be good to go. Competitors need to have access to the game on Nintendo Switch and must engage in at least one match in the event tourney, which can be found in the game’s main menu under “Online,” then “Official Tourney Qualifiers.”
Throughout the event, participants will vie for the top Tourney score—a measure of skill determined by match outcomes and your opponents’ scores. You can play as many matches as you’d like during the event to boost your score, and even matches that wrap up just after the event ends will still count towards it.
The stakes are high with enticing rewards up for grabs! The top 10 players with the highest scores will each win 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points. Those who make it into the top 100 will receive 1,000 Gold Points. However, if any participant changes their country setting to one not on the list of participating countries or exhibits any kind of cheating or undue behavior, their participation will be forfeited as per Nintendo’s Code of Conduct. Prizes are strictly non-transferable, with no cash or alternative offers.
Winners can expect their rewards within two weeks after the event wraps up. Once distributed, the Gold Points will appear in the My Nintendo Point Log for users to verify.
Remember, the Nintendo Account Agreement, Privacy Policy, and My Nintendo Rewards Programme Terms apply throughout the event. Wishing you the best of luck as you battle it out!
