Tournament:Santa Paws


 * Not to be confused with Tournament:Santa Paws 1, the actual first tournament in the series

Santa Paws was a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate superregional held in Montgomery, Alabama, from December 8th-10th, 2023. As the name implies, the tournament was also a charity event, with donations going towards animal shelters.

Following the dropout of two sponsors, a raffle was announced in order to recoup the losses. Every entry into the raffle also contributed to a tier goal system, with each tier being 1,000 entries. Ultimately, over 4,000 raffle tickets were sold (surpassing tier 4), allowing the tournament to run normally.
