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?

Notice that Q14 still allows for commercial tournaments but only if they acquire a license first. This is something Nintendo has been pushing since at least last year. That’s the debacle that killed Smash World Tour and the hill that Panda Global died on.

Not saying I agree with it. In fact, it’s so stupid, but there is still a path forward for now if Nintendo continues to give out those licenses. The real question is, what absurd rules will TOs need to adhere to in order to get a license?
