'''Panda Cup Online Qualifier: Southwest USA Regional Finals''' will be the fifth ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' regional final for the {{Trn|Panda Cup}}. There were four qualifier tournaments for the regional final. Points were distributed to the Top 96 of each qualifier, with the Top 32 of the leaderboard invited to the regional finals. Players will be removed from Top 32 eligibility based on DQs, meaning the Top 32 indicated by points may not be final.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://i.imgur.com/8fsWo5z.png|title=PGstats Discord Jaaahsh message}}</ref> In the event of a tie in points for the regional finals spots, all of the tied players will be invited into the regional finals, even if it means more than 32 players will make up the bracket. The regional finals will be a double-elimination bracket with all sets Best of 5. The winner of the regional finals will qualify for the {{Trn|Panda Cup Finale}}. The tournaments will be region locked to Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah, and players must be 18 years or older to participate.
