The Smash World Tour 2021 is a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament circuit organized by the team behind VGBootCamp.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the circuit will run online qualifiers for both games; however, the regional qualifiers and finale will be offline. The pot prize will start at $150,000 ($75,000 for each game), with a few ways to increase it throughout the year.
Format
"Phase One" is different between each game. For Melee, a panel of players will determine 16 players to invite to each regional finale. Players will be selected based upon several factors, including their performances in both 2020 and 2021 tournaments. For Ultimate, online qualifier tournaments will be held in each region, with 8 or 16 players advancing to the regional qualifier.
"Phase Two" will be offline. Each region will host a regional qualifier which will determine the players sent to the finale, with the number of finale slots depending on the region.
"Phase Three" will be the finale, where the top 32 players of each game face off.
