'''Scuffed World Tour''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' invitational tournament intended to serve as a replacement for the [[Tournament:Smash World Tour 2022#Behind-the-scenes and cancellation|cancelled]] {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2022 Championships}}. It was hosted by {{Sm|Ludwig}} on December 18th, 2022. The 8 players with the most points on the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2022}} standings for both games were invited. Ludwig also added "8 more players that we handpick for each game"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youtu.be/NAcebxT9vnA?t=783|title=Big Update with the Smash Drama}}</ref> for a total of 16 players per game.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LudwigAhgren/status/1599667413397929984|title="16 people per game now"}}</ref> The 1 player with the highest amount of points in a Smash World Tour 2022 region in the overall Top 30 of the leaderboards was invited if not already qualified.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/aidencalvin/status/1599942480874852353|title=Scuffed World Tour invites}}</ref> Any replacements for players who couldn't attend were handpicked.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/aidencalvin/status/1599942659875176448|title=DQ replacements will be handpicked}}</ref> The tournament was a double-elimination bracket, with both games running simultaneously. There was a pot prize of $50,000 ($25,000 for each game).

==Trivia==
*The [[YouTube]]r {{s|wikipedia|Jacksepticeye}}'s Top of the Mornin Coffee sponsored the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Jacksepticeye/status/1598991868230250496|title="If you need a sponsor, let me know! 👀"}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/MogulMoves/status/1603908648249409537|title=Top of the Mornin Coffee sponsor}}</ref>
*The tournament was going to overlap with the final day of the {{Trn|Panda Cup Finale}} before it was postponed.
*The Top 2 players of ''Ultimate'', {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|Tweek}}, were the only two players who did not originally qualify for the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2022 Championships}}.
**They also made Grand Finals at {{Trn|Mainstage 2022}}, two weeks prior.
*This tournament was the first time {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Shuton}} faced in ''Ultimate'' outside of a weekly. Shuton maintained his perfect record against MkLeo by defeating him 3-0 in Losers Quarterfinals, making their overall record 3-0 Shuton's favor in sets and 9-0 in games.
*On November 22, 2023, Alan Bunney would claim on the podcast ''Lights Out'' that the Scuffed World Tour was the "final nail in the coffin" that canceled the {{Trn|Panda Cup}} and forced [[Panda]] to shut down. This tournament happening on the same day Panda Cup was supposed to happen put Panda in a position where they could not compete with it or any future tournament in the state they were in, forcing them to refund the reportedly millions of dollars worth of sponsorship money for not upholding their end of contracts. Bunney would emphasize that he does not blame Ludwig or the organizers for causing this situation, as they could not have known what was happening to Panda behind the scenes.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2DpSz8mpuA&t Dr Alan Reveals EVERYTHING That Happened w/ Panda! | Lights Out Episode 36]</ref>
*The tournament was the first with all of the [[Four Horsemen]] of ''Ultimate'' in attendance ({{Sm|acola}}, {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, {{Sm|Sonix}}, and Sparg0). They would be the Top 4 of the [[LumiRank 2023]] season, which started the day after the tournament.
