Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines (www.nintendo.co.uk)

So Nintendo just announced their "community tournament guidelines" which basically imposes restrictive rules against anyone running a tournament with their games. Is this even legal?

These rules blow but I’m wondering if any of these rules apply to bigger tournaments or if larger tournaments are just simply forbidden.

It is not permitted to use Nintendo's trademarks or IP in the name of a tournament. For instance, "Super Smash Bros. Super Challenge" and "Splatoon Throwdown" are not permitted as names of Community Tournaments.

“Hey bro are you going to join the Splatoon tournament?”

“Don’t you mean the Child Squid Showdown?”
