Tournament Rules
Important: As this is a "Secret Santa" event, you won't be able to choose your partner as your partner will be randomized. You must use one of the default Miis (Players A-F) as your Mii in between races; this will be enforced by the Event Organizer team. If you have your Mii as your switch avatar, consider switching off of that too. The above tactics will give more secrecy as to who your partner is, and will keep the spirit of the event going. Also, please make your mii name is your registry name when signing up (or some form of it).
Once you check into the event, an Event Organizer or MKCentral Staff will DM you a prompt that looks somewhat like the following:
For example: if your name is "F4 ?", then your partner's name will be "F4 !".
The difference between Secret Santa and other MKCentral tournaments is that the players must add the host, rather than the host typically adding the players. This is to help prevent most players' identities from being made known, since people's friend codes could be looked up via the registry. The host's friend code for the room you are in will be the only friend code provided on the thread.
a. Players must have an account on mariokartcentral.com and be registered on the site registry.
a.i. If a player is found to be using an alternate account to deceive the tournament organizers, they will be punished by Mario Kart Central staff and immediately disqualified from the tournament.
