'''The Gimvitational''' is an upcoming ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' invitational held in Laurel, Maryland, from June 16th-19th, 2022. The tournament was announced following {{Sm|GimR}}'s presentation on the [[slingshot]] technique and features a [[Tournament:Smash Summit (series)|Summit]]-esque voting style, where 20% of all donations and shop profits will be added to a "Player Fund," a fund that returns a percentage of money to those who make it into the nomination phase. The tournament will also experiment with a hazards-on ruleset.

==Trivia==
* {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, and {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} participated in both The Gimvitational and {{Trn|Smash 4 Boot Camp}} in December 2017, which were both 16-player invitationals held by [[VGBootCamp]].
** {{Sm|VoiD}}, who was in The Gimvitational but dropped out due to health issues, was a player at Smash 4 Boot Camp too. Coincidentally, he was sick for part of that event.
* This marked the first offline singles tournament since {{Trn|SWT: Central America Ultimate Regional Finals}} where Sparg0 did not place in the top three, instead placing 7th.

The Gimvitational was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major invitational held in Laurel, Maryland, from June 16th-19th, 2022. The tournament was announced following GimR's presentation on the slingshot technique and featured a Summit-esque voting style, where 20% of all donations and shop profits were be added to a "Player Fund," a fund that returned a percentage of money to those who made it into the nomination phase. The tournament also experimented with a mixed hazards on and hazard off stagelist.
