'''Bad Things Happening to Good People''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' online tournament held on September 4th, 2021 by {{Sm|WhyDo}}. The tournament was single-elimination and all best of one sets. True to its name, it featured an unconventional joke ruleset that took full advantage of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s notorious online netcode, with no region locks, disqualifications for anyone who requested a lag test, and the option to gentleman to any game. The tournament prided itself as the first online ''Smash'' tournament with a vaccine mandate, maintained by the honor system. The ''Ultimate'' prize pool was $500 ($300 contributed by {{Team|Panda}}), which entirely went to 1st place. A ''{{s|wikipedia|Rivals of Aether}}'' bracket with the same rules was held on September 5th, with a $300 prize pool contributed by the game's creator, Dan Fornace.
'''Bad Things Happening to Good People''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' online tournament held on September 4th, 2021 by {{Sm|WhyDo}}. The tournament was single-elimination and all best of one sets. True to its name, it featured an unconventional joke ruleset that took full advantage of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s infamously terrible online netcode, with no region locks, disqualifications for anyone who requested a lag test, and the option to gentleman to any game. The tournament prided itself as the first online ''Smash'' tournament with a vaccine mandate, maintained by the honor system. The ''Ultimate'' prize pool was $500 ($300 contributed by {{Team|Panda}}), which entirely went to 1st place. A ''{{s|wikipedia|Rivals of Aether}}'' bracket is being held on September 5th, with a $300 prize pool contributed by the game's creator, Dan Fornace.
 
The winner of the tournament, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, bribed his way through most of the bracket and only played 2 games. He ultimately won the tournament after accepting {{Sm|naitosharp}}'s request for $300 and an appearance on {{Team|Team Liquid}}'s [[wikipedia:Hot Ones|Hot Ones]] parody "Hot Juans."
