Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic[edit]

The COVID-19 disease at time of the start of the tour caused a global pandemic where large gatherings and travel were discouraged. As a result, Smash World Tour released a statement[1] on March 12th, 2020 detailing their measures to prevent the spread of the virus:

  • There would be no Platinum or Gold tier events in March and April 2020.
  • Silver events would continue as normal. However, sick people were recommended to stay home.
  • Missed point opportunities were planned to be made up later.

On April 1st, 2020, Smash World Tour released an update statement[2]:

  • The delay on all Smash World Tour events was extended to June 1st, 2020. Smash World Tour said this would likely not be the last delay.
  • A TO relief fund shop was opened on Start.gg.

Almost all tournaments in the circuit during the pandemic period, including gold and platinum tiered events, were either postponed or cancelled:
