Welcome to The Bell Tree World Championship!
Games What games are on offer?
We are hosting friendly and competitive matches across a number of exciting online multiplayer Nintendo Switch games: Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokémon Sword and Shield, Splatoon 2, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Party, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. You will find all of the game threads in the Games Lobby.
- In a friendly session you will only receive points for participating. The person who comes in first place will receive the same amount of points as the person who comes in last place. Game hosts will not be keeping score.
- In a competitive session you will receive points based on how well you performed in addition to receiving a base amount of points simply for participating. The person who comes in first place will receive more points that the person who comes in last place, however everyone who participates will still walk away with something. Game hosts will be keeping score in competitive sessions.
Teams Team Assignments
If you opted-in to this event before May 8th 2021 you will have already been randomly assigned to one of four teams: the Red Team, the Purple Team, the Blue Team, or the Green Team. Your team assignment will be listed in the postbit to the left of your post on desktop and on top of your post on mobile. Please note that it can take up to an hour after logging in for your team assignment to be displayed. In the meantime check the About Me section in your profile to find out your assignment.
If you have not yet opted-in to this event it is not too late to do so! To sign-up to participate in The Bell Tree World Championship please go to your Preferences and set the TBT World Championship field to "Opted In" and then press Save. All accounts that have opted-in will periodically be assigned to a team.
Team Structure
For the next two weeks consider your team your TBT family. You might not get along with everyone in your team, but either you win together or you don't win at all! Each team has their own board where they will be able to communicate with their fellow teammates and their team captains:
Each team is led by two team captains. The Red Team is led by @dizzy bone and @Justin; the Purple Team is led by @LaBelleFleur and @Mairmalade; the Blue Team is led by @Kaiaa and @pandapples; and the Green Team is led by @Jeremy and @Vrisnem. Your team captains are your main point of contact for this event. They will answer your questions, cheer you on, and are responsible for distributing points to their team's members.
N.B. Please note that if your team banner is not currently displayed on your profile you will not have access to your team board yet. Check back in an hour!

How Will Points Be Distributed?
You will be able to claim your points by posting in your team board's Points Redemption Station thread. Follow the instructions outlined in this thread in order to redeem your points. Points will then be distributed by your team captains. Point distribution is a manual process which means we need to adjust each user's points one at a time. While the team captains will be working together to try and stay on top of point distribution you might find that there is some delay in points being added to your total. Points cannot be spent, so please be patient with your team captains if it takes some time to receive them.
Please do not message game hosts asking about your points unless they are also your team captain. Game hosts are only responsible for their own team's point distribution and will be unable to help you. If there is a significant delay in points going out please tag @Vrisnem in one of your team's pinned threads and they will liaise with your team captains. Scoreboard In order to track your team's progress you can check out the scoreboard displayed at the top of the board. This will be updated automatically as team captain's distribute member points.
Prizes We have four categories of prizes for this event: Team Placement Awards, MVP Awards, Tournament Awards, and Participation Awards.
Team Placement Awards

Before You Go... While you navigate through the next two weeks please remember that this is just a game. We expect all participants to show a basic level of respect to their opponents, their teammates, their team captains, and the game hosts. Poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated. This behaviour ruins the experience for everyone else present in the game session and if we see it happening we will remove players from the event.
Good luck, have fun, and play nice!
