Well, actually 999 Winners...

This weekend is the first (of hopefully many) Tetris 99 online event - The MAXIMUS CUP. According to the official Nintendo website the event will begin March 5th, at 5am PT and run through March 10th, 11:59. The top 999 players with the most wins will receive 999 gold coins, the equivalent to $10, to be used in the Nintendo eShop.

Here are the official rules:

Get ready to participate in the Tetris® 99 MAXIMUS CUP online event, beginning on March 8th! Win first place (you’ll see TETRIS MAXIMUS on the results screen when you do) as many times as you can! After the event, the top 999 players with the most TETRIS MAXIMUS wins will be notified, and will each receive 999 My Nintendo Gold Points!
