On November 20th, the last day of the Smash World Tour, {{Sm|Jakal}} replaced {{Sm|kept}} as the last player qualified through points by a margin of just 5 points, due to the former's performance at {{Trn|Apex 2022}}. Following this replacement, a past tournament was discovered ([https://challonge.com/heijitushinosuma133ten5_2 Shinosuma #133.5]), which if opted in, would raise kept's Silver points enough to pass Jakal and qualify. This led others to look for tournaments Jakal attended (such as {{Trn|Collision 2022}}) that could raise his points as a counter-measure against kept's tournaments. Due to the rulebook not stating an exact end time for the league period or any time limit for a tournament to opt into the circuit, it was up in the air for how much time people had to opt in tournaments. The event, which has since been dubbed "World War kept", ended when players pointed out a clause in the rulebook which required tournaments to be run on [[start.gg]] in order to be eligible for the SWT, making Shinosuma #133.5 ineligible to opt in as it was held on [[Challonge]]. In addition, the bracket would have to be meticulously recreated on start.gg if it were to be implemented into the circuit's leaderboards. No major changes or new qualified players ended up happening, with the exception of Collision 2022 opting in, which only raised Jakal's points by 5 and swapped {{Sm|Riddles}} over {{Sm|Dabuz}} on the leaderboards.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/funeoritabakka/status/1595065752176164864|title=World War kept}}</ref>

=====Leaderboard points controversy=====
=====Leaderboard point controversy=====
In the SWT rulebook, Section 1.2 stated that entrant counts for tournaments must account for disqualifications when tiering. Following the end of the circuit, controversy arose when it was revealed that a few Silver tournaments did not account for disqualifications. This affected the borderline qualifiers, as with disqualifications accounted, {{Sm|kept}} (at 1,165 points) and {{Sm|Sekai Doggo}} (at 1,140 points) would have more points than {{Sm|Sriks}} (at 1,130 points) and {{Sm|Jakal}} (at 1,125 points), the two players who were ultimately invited to the finale.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Pupa315/status/1595354890720579584|title=Adjusted points}}</ref>
