'''S.A.M.E 2021''', or '''Still. Arranging. Melee. Events 2021''', was an  online European ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' circuit directed by SmashEurope and sponsored by {{Team|Beyond the Summit}} and {{Team|Poilon Software}}. A total of ten tournaments, one per month, were held and each featured singles, doubles, and a crew battle. The [[Tournament:SAME Finale 2021|finale]] was held in November 2021, with the winner qualifying for {{Trn|Smash Summit 13}}. All of the tournaments used [[Project Slippi]].

On April 19th, 2021, it was announced that the points leader after {{Trn|Fête Online}} would be invited to {{Trn|Smash Summit 11}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SmashEurope/status/1384190056563236870 SAMExSummit annoucement]</ref> On May 25th, 2021, it was announced that a change in CDC quarantine requirements meant that Fête Online's date was too close to Smash Summit 11. The qualification parameter was then updated so that the points leader after {{Trn|Smash Sauna Online}}, that being {{Sm|Pipsqueak}}, would qualify for Smash Summit 11. {{Sm|Frenzy}}, the only other player within qualifying distance before the qualification change, was offered flight and entry to an upcoming European offline tournament as compensation.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SmashEurope/status/1397318167140212744?s=19 SmashEurope confirming Pipsqueak's qualification following Smash Sauna Online]</ref>

==List of tournaments==
The circuit was initially planned to run to the end of December, however with the return of offline competitive play, Heir Online and Somnio were cancelled while the dates for {{Trn|Teaghlach Online}} and {{Trn|Bagarre}} were shifted. A special tournament specifically for the remaining crew battles was announced for October, but never took place.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SmashEurope/status/1404452929952784389|title=Changes to the circuit timeline}}</ref>

==Crews==
In each tournament, the crews in each pool faced off against each other in a round robin format. The top 4 crews of each pool competed in the [[Tournament:SAME Finale 2021|November finale]]. Pool placements were determined by total crew battle wins, the difference of total stocks taken minus stock lost, then the head-to-head result.
