Mario Tennis Aces North American Open

Mario Tennis Aces North American Open refers to any of a series of four separate open tournaments sponsored by Nintendo, held online in Mario Tennis Aces from July 2020 to February 2021. As their title suggests, only residents of Canada, Mexico, and the United States could join these competitions.

Overview

The tournaments in this series used a single-elimination format in which players were seeded according to criteria known by the organizers. Each round, players competed one-to-one in a best-of-three-set match. The number of rounds and match-ups in a tournament was determined by the number of players that checked in before the first round. The best players in the tournament were awarded a large number of My Nintendo Gold Points.

The tournaments were managed through the esports platform Battlefy, which hosts a dedicated Mario Tennis Aces profile where players from eligible countries could sign up for a tournament during a specific registration period. This profile provides details for each tournament individually, such as the number of players, rankings, and a bracket that illustrates the progress of the competition. As outlined by Battlefy, among other rules, players were required to observe a set match structure (shown below) and check in for a match within 10 minutes of being assigned an opponent.

If a technical problem occurred as players would attempt to establish a connection, Battlefy provided support through a dedicated "Mario Tennis Aces" Discord channel.
