Nintendo Cracking Down on Unlicensed Tournaments (en-americas-support.nintendo.com)

Nintendo just released these guidelines around running a “community” tournament. In other words, an unlicensed tournament. Limiting the player cap to 200 (300 for online), no profit allowed, entry fees must be under $15 USD, must use Nintendo online servers (no Slippi), and some other stuff.

Not sure which major tournaments from this last year had a license and which didn’t, but I remember the Smash World Tour fiasco and Panda’s implosion. I know Hbox said he’s going to try to keep running Coinbox until Nintendo themselves tells him to stop in writing, but I wonder how this will affect other big TOs. How many of them are still trying to sneak under the radar unlicensed?

Honestly, it’s BS how Nintendo treats their competitive communities

I remember the all night Goldeneye and no mercy tournaments that my buddies and I used to play on weekends. I should be in prison!
