How will I actually TO the event? When you’re a TO for an online event on smashgg, your main go-to tool is the “Match Dashboard”, where you have tools to monitor and report sets in an organized manner. You can filter by the status of each match or by the phase and pool. It will display what step the players are on, such as "check-in", "reporting game", as well as an auto-DQ timer if they have not checked-in yet. Any sets that have called a moderator will be pushed to the top of the list where you can easily see them. More details can be found here: Online Match Moderation

Greetings everyone!Bassem "" Dahdouh here, and I wanted to reach out to allTOs who wish to run online events using smashgg’s online tournament platform. Over the past couple of months, I ran Road to Shine and Key to The PG House: The Big House 6 Smash 4 Online Qualifier . Each event ran on separate days that led up to a final bracket on their corresponding days.I wanted to let others know that anyone can use the smashgg platform for free to enter, onlinetournaments, as smashgg has many features that make it a smooth experience for both TOs and players. Players will go through the regular registration process of any smashgg event, but will also add their NNID when they register. All of the tournament’s communication can be done within the “Dashboard” of an event, where players who face each other can chat, and will check in and go through an automated task process. The tasks are essentially the regular procedures of any tournament, including stage bans & character selections.I listed some FAQs below, along with respective links that cover anything you may be curious to know about playing in or hosting an online tournament on smashgg:I know that was a lot at once, but I do hope this helps better explain our online features to any Smash 4 TOs who may be interested in hosting their own online event. If there are any questions, please feel free to comment or reach out so that I can help in any way I can. I’m looking forward to seeing more online events forMuch appreciated,Bassem “Bear” Dahdouh
