The '''Smash World Tour 2022''' | The '''Smash World Tour 2022''' was a cancelled ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' tournament circuit organized by the team behind {{Team|VGBootCamp}}. The circuit began on March 12th, 2022 and concluded on November 20th, 2022. The championships were going to be held on December 9th-11th, 2022, with a Last Chance Qualifier held at the event. There was a pot prize starting at $250,000 ($125,000 for each game). | ||
According to the event organizers, due to interference from [[Nintendo]] the Smash World Tour 2022 was cancelled on November 29th, 2022, weeks before the finale was set to take place.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://medium.com/@smashworldtour/smash-world-tour-official-statement-f568a3d135c8|title=SWT 2022's cancellation}}</ref> | |||

==Behind-the-scenes and cancellation== | |||
{{main|Cancellation of Smash World Tour 2022}} | |||
On November 29th, 2022, Smash World Tour released [https://medium.com/@smashworldtour/smash-world-tour-official-statement-f568a3d135c8 a document] detailing actions behind-the-scenes that eventually led to its cancellation. | |||
Prior to the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}}, members of {{Team|VGBootCamp}}, the SWT organizers, were invited to a meeting with [[Nintendo]] and its legal team. During the meeting, Nintendo discussed how they had no plans on shutting down the championship, but were in fact open to the possibility of having the Smash World Tour licensed by them in the future, noting that their partnership with {{Team|Panda}} was not exclusive. Discussions continued throughout the first few months of 2022, however during this time SWT organizers learned that many other organizers were hesitant on joining the circuit due to statements from Panda's CEO Alan Bunney, who had told the organizers that SWT was not coming back. Despite Nintendo reassuring them otherwise, Bunney continued to sow doubt on the circuit's longevity and went against Nintendo's words by both preventing other organizers from joining the SWT and pressuring tournaments on the SWT to drop out of the circuit, stating that tournaments that do will not be allowed to join the {{Trn|Panda Cup}}. As a result, several tournaments decided not to take part in the SWT circuit as, from what Bunney had told the organizers, they feared legal action from Nintendo. Eventually, due to the lack of events who wanted to participate in the Panda Cup as well as failure to secure broadcasting rights from {{Team|Beyond the Summit}}, the Panda Cup lifted their exclusivity rule. | |||
During this time, communications between Nintendo and SWT started to slow down. After SWT ran out of time to get an official license for the year's circuit, Nintendo recommended the group to apply for a license solely for the championship tournament at the end of the year, in hopes that it could lead to a full license for the 2023 iteration. However SWT saw little communication from Nintendo in the following months, which led SWT to push back the championship's announcement until August, after which Nintendo apologized to them for the slow communication. The following month, Nintendo told them that while nothing has been decided yet in regards to their license, Bunney's conduct and the behind-the-scenes drama with the Panda Cup were coming under evaluation. Despite SWT requesting for one, Nintendo declined to have its decision makers discuss the license with the SWT organizers. | |||
SWT's last few discussions with Nintendo came in November, a month before the championship. Nintendo confirmed that they were still figuring out the license while noting that people they were discussing with have advocated for the SWT, community, and grassroots organizers; despite this, Nintendo still declined to have their decision makers discuss with the SWT organizers. The following and final conversation came with a verdict: Nintendo would not license both the championship and any tournament activity from the SWT in 2023, with Nintendo giving little reason as to why, and according to the SWT organizers Nintendo also refused to allow SWT to run the circuit without a license, effectively changing their view a year prior and forcing the team to cancel the championship. | |||
The shutdown cost VGBootCamp hundreds of thousands of dollars and led VGBootCamp to release a statement on their uncertainty for the organization's future, as well as the cancellations of Glitch: Duel of Fates and Double Down 2023.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n6FNvlt8X19jM0qeA7MWqGYkGsqBAbFZ_VmZHt9oXik/preview|title=VGBootCamp's statement on the future}}</ref> | |||
In response, Nintendo released a response on Kotaku, stating that although a partnership with the Smash World Tour did not come to fruition, they did not request the cancellation of the 2022 circuit nor the cancellation of the championship, as they knew that it would have negatively impacted those who had already qualified.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/nintendo-smash-world-tour-fgc-shut-down-panda-esports-1849833867|title=Nintendo Shuts Down Smash World Tour, Organizers 'Losing Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars'|accessdate=2022-11-30|last=Plunkett|first=Luke|date=2022-11-29|publisher=Kotaku}}</ref> Smash World Tour released [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8Km4iIZ-i5nadyjNWexfsfz1LeFjljV7UkGdz8_Cwc/edit a follow-up statement] holding onto their claim that Nintendo sent to them in writing that they would not grant their license to run the Smash World Tour 2022 Championships or any SWT activity in 2023. This was without them applying for a 2023 license at all, and despite applying for the championships' license seven months prior in April, Nintendo wanted them to secure a license well in advance of any public announcement. When asked if they were able to operate without a license like past years, Nintendo stated that those "times are over." | |||
===Reactions=== | |||
The announcement led to an outcry from the community, particularly those who had qualified for the tournament. Many players once again accused Nintendo for hurting ''Smash''{{'}}s grassroots scene and criticized the company for continuing their out-of-touch behaviors with the community. Esports organizations such as {{Team|beastcoast}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/beastcoast/status/1597766191388405760|title=beastcoast's statement on the cancellation}}</ref> and Paragon<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ParagonFGC/status/1597782156062838785|title=Paragon's statement on the cancellation}}</ref> released statements urging Nintendo to reverse their decision. | |||
Many others also criticized Panda, more specifically Bunney, for using the Panda Cup's partnership with Nintendo to undermine and shut down the Smash World Tour in order to promote the Panda Cup and intimidate other tournaments to exclusively join the Panda Cup. This has led to calls to boycott Panda and the finale, and many players in the {{Trn|Panda Cup Finale}} or the [[Tournament:Panda Cup Last Chance Qualifier|Last Chance Qualifier]] have since dropped out. However, there is no evidence Panda's CEO had any influence on Nintendo not granting a license for the Smash World Tour. | |||
In response to the championship's cancellation, Beyond the Summit reopened {{Trn|Mainstage 2022}} registration for a day and gave free entry to SWT participants who had yet to register for Mainstage. All entry fees paid during this time were donated directly to SWT.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BTSsmash/status/1597791017033662465|title=BTS reopening Mainstage registration}}</ref> | |||

====="World War kept"===== | |||
On November 20th, the last day of the Smash World Tour, {{Sm|Jakal}} replaced {{Sm|kept}} as the last player qualified through points by a margin of just 5 points, due to the former's performance at {{Trn|Apex 2022}}. Following this replacement, a past tournament was discovered ([https://challonge.com/heijitushinosuma133ten5_2 Shinosuma #133.5]), which if opted in, would raise kept's Silver points enough to pass Jakal and qualify. This led others to look for tournaments Jakal attended (such as {{Trn|Collision 2022}}) that could raise his points as a counter-measure against kept's tournaments. Due to the rulebook not stating an exact end time for the league period or any time limit for a tournament to opt into the circuit, it was up in the air for how much time people had to opt in tournaments. The event, which has since been dubbed "World War kept", ended when players pointed out a clause in the rulebook which required tournaments to be run on [[start.gg]] in order to be eligible for the SWT, making Shinosuma #133.5 ineligible to opt in as it was held on [[Challonge]]. In addition, the bracket would have to be meticulously recreated on start.gg if it were to be implemented into the circuit's leaderboards. No major changes or new qualified players ended up happening, with the exception of Collision 2022 opting in, which only raised Jakal's points by 5 and swapped {{Sm|Riddles}} over {{Sm|Dabuz}} on the leaderboards.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/funeoritabakka/status/1595065752176164864|title=World War kept}}</ref> | |||
=====Leaderboard points controversy===== | |||
In the SWT rulebook, Section 1.2 stated that entrant counts for tournaments must account for disqualifications when tiering. Following the end of the circuit, controversy arose when it was revealed that a few Silver tournaments did not account for disqualifications. This affected the borderline qualifiers, as with disqualifications accounted, {{Sm|kept}} (at 1,165 points) and {{Sm|Sekai Doggo}} (at 1,140 points) would have more points than {{Sm|Sriks}} (at 1,130 points) and {{Sm|Jakal}} (at 1,125 points), the two players who were ultimately invited to the finale.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Pupa315/status/1595354890720579584|title=Adjusted points}}</ref> | |||
This controversy was further exacerbated when it was revealed that, following {{Trn|Apex 2022}} on November 22nd, 2022, a new line was added to the aforementioned section which stated that whether a Silver tournament's status changes was only decided by the tour producer.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PracticalTAS/status/1596347274338017280|title=Addition to the rule}}</ref> In addition, both kept and Sekai Doggo have made attempts to contact SWT on the issue.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/FaintKept/status/1596687552647692290|title=kept on the situation}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SekaiDoggo/status/1596254555683328001|title=Sekai Doggo on the situation}}</ref> | |||

Behind-the-scenes and cancellation[edit]
On November 29th, 2022, Smash World Tour released a document detailing actions behind-the-scenes that eventually led to its cancellation.
Prior to the Smash World Tour 2021 Championships, members of VGBootCamp, the SWT organizers, were invited to a meeting with Nintendo and its legal team. During the meeting, Nintendo discussed how they had no plans on shutting down the championship, but were in fact open to the possibility of having the Smash World Tour licensed by them in the future, noting that their partnership with Panda was not exclusive. Discussions continued throughout the first few months of 2022, however during this time SWT organizers learned that many other organizers were hesitant on joining the circuit due to statements from Panda's CEO Alan Bunney, who had told the organizers that SWT was not coming back. Despite Nintendo reassuring them otherwise, Bunney continued to sow doubt on the circuit's longevity and went against Nintendo's words by both preventing other organizers from joining the SWT and pressuring tournaments on the SWT to drop out of the circuit, stating that tournaments that do will not be allowed to join the Panda Cup. As a result, several tournaments decided not to take part in the SWT circuit as, from what Bunney had told the organizers, they feared legal action from Nintendo. Eventually, due to the lack of events who wanted to participate in the Panda Cup as well as failure to secure broadcasting rights from Beyond the Summit, the Panda Cup lifted their exclusivity rule.
During this time, communications between Nintendo and SWT started to slow down. After SWT ran out of time to get an official license for the year's circuit, Nintendo recommended the group to apply for a license solely for the championship tournament at the end of the year, in hopes that it could lead to a full license for the 2023 iteration. However SWT saw little communication from Nintendo in the following months, which led SWT to push back the championship's announcement until August, after which Nintendo apologized to them for the slow communication. The following month, Nintendo told them that while nothing has been decided yet in regards to their license, Bunney's conduct and the behind-the-scenes drama with the Panda Cup were coming under evaluation. Despite SWT requesting for one, Nintendo declined to have its decision makers discuss the license with the SWT organizers.
SWT's last few discussions with Nintendo came in November, a month before the championship. Nintendo confirmed that they were still figuring out the license while noting that people they were discussing with have advocated for the SWT, community, and grassroots organizers; despite this, Nintendo still declined to have their decision makers discuss with the SWT organizers. The following and final conversation came with a verdict: Nintendo would not license both the championship and any tournament activity from the SWT in 2023, with Nintendo giving little reason as to why, and according to the SWT organizers Nintendo also refused to allow SWT to run the circuit without a license, effectively changing their view a year prior and forcing the team to cancel the championship.
The shutdown cost VGBootCamp hundreds of thousands of dollars and led VGBootCamp to release a statement on their uncertainty for the organization's future, as well as the cancellations of Glitch: Duel of Fates and Double Down 2023.[3]
In response, Nintendo released a response on Kotaku, stating that although a partnership with the Smash World Tour did not come to fruition, they did not request the cancellation of the 2022 circuit nor the cancellation of the championship, as they knew that it would have negatively impacted those who had already qualified.[4] Smash World Tour released a follow-up statement holding onto their claim that Nintendo sent to them in writing that they would not grant their license to run the Smash World Tour 2022 Championships or any SWT activity in 2023. This was without them applying for a 2023 license at all, and despite applying for the championships' license seven months prior in April, Nintendo wanted them to secure a license well in advance of any public announcement. When asked if they were able to operate without a license like past years, Nintendo stated that those "times are over."
Reactions[edit]
The announcement led to an outcry from the community, particularly those who had qualified for the tournament. Many players once again accused Nintendo for hurting Smash's grassroots scene and criticized the company for continuing their out-of-touch behaviors with the community. Esports organizations such as beastcoast[5] and Paragon[6] released statements urging Nintendo to reverse their decision.
Many others also criticized Panda, more specifically Bunney, for using the Panda Cup's partnership with Nintendo to undermine and shut down the Smash World Tour in order to promote the Panda Cup and intimidate other tournaments to exclusively join the Panda Cup. This has led to calls to boycott Panda and the finale, and many players in the Panda Cup Finale or the Last Chance Qualifier have since dropped out. However, there is no evidence Panda's CEO had any influence on Nintendo not granting a license for the Smash World Tour.
In response to the championship's cancellation, Beyond the Summit reopened Mainstage 2022 registration for a day and gave free entry to SWT participants who had yet to register for Mainstage. All entry fees paid during this time were donated directly to SWT.[7]

Point system[edit]
Scoring[edit]
Scores were calculated based off of placements, with higher tiered events offering more points for a wider range of placements. The following factored into the final score:
- Top 3 Platinum results
- Top 3 Gold results
- Best Super Silver result
- Top 6 Silver results
The top 30 players were to move on to the championships, with a Last Chance Qualifier for the last 2 slots. Of the 30, the 1 player from each region with the highest amount of points auto-qualified for the finale: North America, Central America, Europe, Japan, Oceania, South America, and a Wild Card Region comprising of every region not included in any of the other regions. The 23 highest players on the leaderboard who did not auto-qualify made up the rest of the 30 who were to move on to the championships.
The point system remained mostly the same from the 2020 iteration, however an additional Silver category, titled "Super Silver," was added. To qualify for a Silver category, a tournament needs a certain amount of entrants:
Game | Regions | Silver entrants | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Super | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | ||
NA | 200 | 64 | 48 | 32 | 16 | |
All Other Regions | 100 | 48 | 32 | 24 | 16 | |
NA, EU, Japan | 450 | 128 | 96 | 64 | 32 | |
All Other Regions | 200 | 64 | 48 | 32 | 16 |
Placement | Platinum score | Gold score | Silver score | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Super | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |||
1st | 800 | 400 | 275 | 100 | 70 | 45 | 25 |
2nd | 675 | 300 | 200 | 70 | 45 | 25 | 10 |
3rd | 525 | 220 | 125 | 45 | 25 | 10 | 5 |
4th | 400 | 150 | 70 | 25 | 10 | 5 | 1 |
5th | 300 | 100 | 45 | 10 | 5 | 1 | — |
7th | 220 | 70 | 25 | 5 | 1 | — | — |
9th | 150 | 45 | 10 | 1 | — | — | — |
13th | 100 | 25 | 5 | — | — | — | — |

65th | 5 | — | — | — | — | — | — |
97th | 1 | — | — | — | — | — | — |
If two or more players on the leaderboard had the same number of points, the tie in rank would be resolved by applying the following tiebreakers in order:
- Total number of points earned from their best 3 Platinum tournaments
- Total number of points earned from their best 3 Gold tournaments
- Average points earned per Platinum tournament attended
- Average points earned per Gold tournament attended
- Number of Super Silver and Silver tournaments attended
- Total number of set wins in matches between tied players across all events in the league
- Coin flip

Though he moved to Canada in September 2022, aMSa represented Japan in the Smash World Tour 2022.[11] However, this was a moot point as the next highest player from Japan, Inngenn, was qualified in 11th place.
lloD broke the 22nd place tie with Skerzo for having a higher total number of points earned from his best 3 Platinum tournaments (925 vs. 540).
Sala was in a 70th place tie with caioicy and Mew2King; caioicy had the most total Platinum points, and Sala and Mew2King's tiebreaker came down to a coin flip, which never happened.

Though he lived in the United Kingdom for part of the year, eMass represented Saudi Arabia in the Wild Card Region in the Smash World Tour 2022. This was because he had been living in Saudi Arabia since the beginning of the summer and had earned points in the Wild Card region since March 2022.[12]
Sisqui broke the 13th place tie with Chag for having a higher total number of points earned from his best 3 Platinum tournaments (920 vs. 335).

"World War kept"[edit]
On November 20th, the last day of the Smash World Tour, Jakal replaced kept as the last player qualified through points by a margin of just 5 points, due to the former's performance at Apex 2022. Following this replacement, a past tournament was discovered (Shinosuma #133.5), which if opted in, would raise kept's Silver points enough to pass Jakal and qualify. This led others to look for tournaments Jakal attended (such as Collision 2022) that could raise his points as a counter-measure against kept's tournaments. Due to the rulebook not stating an exact end time for the league period or any time limit for a tournament to opt into the circuit, it was up in the air for how much time people had to opt in tournaments. The event, which has since been dubbed "World War kept", ended when players pointed out a clause in the rulebook which required tournaments to be run on start.gg in order to be eligible for the SWT, making Shinosuma #133.5 ineligible to opt in as it was held on Challonge. In addition, the bracket would have to be meticulously recreated on start.gg if it were to be implemented into the circuit's leaderboards. No major changes or new qualified players ended up happening, with the exception of Collision 2022 opting in, which only raised Jakal's points by 5 and swapped Riddles over Dabuz on the leaderboards.[13]
Leaderboard points controversy[edit]
In the SWT rulebook, Section 1.2 stated that entrant counts for tournaments must account for disqualifications when tiering. Following the end of the circuit, controversy arose when it was revealed that a few Silver tournaments did not account for disqualifications. This affected the borderline qualifiers, as with disqualifications accounted, kept (at 1,165 points) and Sekai Doggo (at 1,140 points) would have more points than Sriks (at 1,130 points) and Jakal (at 1,125 points), the two players who were ultimately invited to the finale.[14]
This controversy was further exacerbated when it was revealed that, following Apex 2022 on November 22nd, 2022, a new line was added to the aforementioned section which stated that whether a Silver tournament's status changes was only decided by the tour producer.[15] In addition, both kept and Sekai Doggo have made attempts to contact SWT on the issue.[16][17]
