When it comes to online gaming excitement, the “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge: Winter Clash 2024” promises to deliver. This online competition invites players into the fast-paced world of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch. Hosted by Nintendo of Europe SE, this event takes place at the Nintendo headquarters located at Goldsteinstrasse in Frankfurt, Germany.
### Event Timing and Locations
Mark your calendars for Friday, December 6th! The event kicks off at 6 PM and wraps up at 8 PM CET. If you’re in the UK, that’s from 5 PM to 7 PM. Gamers from a wide array of European countries can join in, including Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and many more. Keep in mind, though, if you’re logging in from further-out regions like the Azores or Svalbard archipelago, connectivity might be an issue.
### How to Jump In
If you’re eyeing to join the fray, make sure your Nintendo Account is set up in one of the eligible countries and is backed by an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. Don’t worry about what type of membership—whether it’s a paid subscription or a free trial, you’re good to go. Once you’re set, hop into the game on your Nintendo Switch and dive into the “Official Tourney Qualifiers” found in the main menu under the “Online” section.
### Tourney Scoring
The competition heats up with the pursuit of the highest Tourney score. This score is a testament to your prowess in the game, calculated based on your victories and the ranking of the opponents you face. You can keep tabs on your Tourney score in-game anytime throughout the event. Players have the freedom to play as many matches as they desire during the event, and even those matches that spill over the event hours will contribute to your score.
### Prizes for the Top Players
Making it to the top 10 with the highest individual Tourney scores will earn you a prize of 2,500 My Nintendo Gold Points. Didn’t make the top 10 but still in the top 100? No worries, as you’ll receive 1,000 Gold Points. It’s important to ensure your country settings remain unchanged to avoid disqualification, as shifting to a non-participating country will cost you your winnings. And remember, fair play is crucial—any form of cheating will not only get you disqualified but might also impact your Nintendo Account standing.
### Prize Fulfillment
Winners can expect their rewards to appear in their Nintendo Account within two weeks after the event ends. Checking the My Nintendo Point Log will confirm the receipt of these Gold Points. Rest assured, these prizes are specifically tied to your account with no alternatives like cash available.
### Additional Information
Before diving in, remember that the Nintendo Account Agreement and Privacy Policy, along with the My Nintendo Rewards Program Terms, still apply.
Good luck to everyone battling it out!
