Hi, if you're here please give me some feedback on this page's talk page.

The Splatoon 3 Tournament Manager is a feature of Splatoon 3 that is available through SplatNet 3 and a dedicated website. It enables the creation of private tournaments using the Private Battle mode and links both the Splatoon 3 game and the SplatNet 3 service together to help players create and manage tournaments on demand.[1]

The feature was announced through a July 2023 update to an article on the Splatoon 3 website that was originally posted on 10 August 2022 and released on 16 November 2023.

It can be found by clicking the yellow Tournament Manager button on the home screen of Splatnet 3

Tournament Manager Features

Below is a list of features and advanced info from Nintendo's Tournament Manager help page. This is here mainly for archival purposes.

Organising a Tournament

How to Create a Tournament

  1. Open Tournament Manager, then select Create Tournament.
  2. Enter all required info, such as the schedule and tournament mode.
    • Refer to Tournament Settings for additional details.

  • Once the participating teams are confirmed, tournament settings can no longer be changed.
  • A team that does not meet the required number of players by the end of the registration period will automatically have their entry canceled.
  • Be sure to leave enough time between the registration deadline and the start of the tournament—you'll want to give yourself ample time to publish the tournament bracket and have players view it.

  • The order will be determined by the following rules:
    • Matches Won > Battles Won > Battles Lost > Head-to-Head Matchup > Registration Date (Entry Number)

    • Preliminaries On If preliminaries are enabled, all teams will be divided into groups of three or four for preliminary rounds. Only top-ranked teams will advance to the final bracket.
