Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

The coronavirus disease at time of the start of the tour caused a global pandemic where large gatherings and travel were discouraged. As a result, Smash World Tour released a statement on March 12th, 2020 detailing their measures to prevent the spread of the virus.

• There would be no Platinum or Gold tier events in March and April 2020.
  • CEO Dreamland 2020 was going to be a Gold tier event marking the start of the tour. While it wasn't canceled, its tour points were removed.
  • HFLAN Melee Edition 2020 was going to be the first Platinum tier event, but it was postponed to Fall 2020.
  • Pound 2020 was canceled. It was going to be the first Platinum tier event for Ultimate and the second for Melee.

    • Battle Arena Melbourne 12 was postponed to the second half of 2020, and was a Platinum tier event prior to postponement.
    • MomoCon 2020 was canceled. It was a Gold tier event prior to postponement.
