The Smash World Tour 2021 Championships was the Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate finale for Smash World Tour 2021, and was held in Orlando, Florida from December 17th-19th, 2021. The 32 players of each game who qualified through the Regional Finals participated in the tournament. A Last Chance Qualifier for each game was held on December 17th with the top 8 players qualifying, bringing the total to 40 players for each game. The tournament had the third-largest singles pot for a Melee tournament and the second-largest singles pot for an Ultimate tournament. Qualified players could not enter side events, and side events were not streamed.

Format

There was a round-robin Group Stage and a final double-elimination Championship Bracket for each game. The 40 players were divided into eight round-robin groups, with each one including a player from the Last Chance Qualifier. The first placing player of each group was sent to the winners' side of the Championship Bracket, while the second and third placing player of each group was sent the losers' side of the Championship Bracket. The Top 24 was played in the Championship Bracket in a double-elimination format. All sets were best of 5, in both the Group Stage and Championship Bracket.

The Last Chance Qualifier on December 17th was played up until the top 8, with the top 8 not being played out. Four sets in group were played on December 17th during Phase 1 of the Last Chance Qualifier: Seed #1 vs. #3, #1 vs. #4, #2 vs. #3, and #2 vs. #4. The remaining six sets (Seed #1 vs. #2, Seed #3 vs. #4, and the Last Chance Qualifier player's four sets) were played on December 18th. Winners' Quarters, Losers' Round 1, and Losers' Round 2 of the Championship Bracket were played on December 18th. The Championship Bracket was played to completion on December 19th, starting with Winners' Semis and Losers' top 12.

In the event of a two-way tie in a Group Stage round-robin, the tie was to be broken by the head-to-head of game wins between the players. In a three-way tie, the following tiebreakers were applied, in the following order:

1. Game win percentage in the Group Stage is defined as total games won divided by total games played.
2. If still tied, the tied players would play another Round Robin with a best of 1 match. If still tied, this step would be repeated until the tie was resolved.
