Mario Tennis Aces: all you need to know about Online Tournaments, schedule

Just like Splatoon 2 (with its Splatfests) and ARMS (with its Party Crash events), Mario Tennis Aces is getting online tournaments. On this page, you will find all there is to know about: what they’re all about, when they’re taking place, and more.

Mario Tennis Aces Online Tournaments – What are they?

The tournaments take place every month, and have players from all over the world compete. Your goal is to rack up as many points while the tournament is live in order to get the highest rank possible in the leaderboards. The amount of points you get depends on the following:

• number of matches you won
• number of points you got during each match
• number of rackets you had at the end of each match (if rules allow for them)

You can take part in as many matches as you want while each Online Tournament is live, in order to rack up as many points as you want. You get a prize simply by participating.
