Surf tournament not showing up

Claris2121 · September 10

Hello! I just downloaded Candy Crush Soda Saga to play the special event connected to the WSL (surf tournament) but I don't see anything relating to it in the app.

how can I partecipate to the surf tournament?

(can I do it even if I play from Italy?)

Thanks

Hello @Claris2121 and welcome to Soda community!

Participants need to be at level 37 or above, you may read more infos in terms and conditions of Tournament here

Country shouldn't be a problem because I play from Italy too and I see the tournament round.

If you still don't see it after restarting device and playing any level a few times to reconnect to the servers then it's possible the event is not available at the moment. Read here for more infos

Thank you! It worked! I wasn’t level 37 still.

Now the WSL theme shows in the background of the map and yellow candies are shaped like surfboards.

But I still don’t see anything related to the tournament or the number of yellow surfboards/candies I have collected. I know there’s rounds ecc… but I don’t see anything apart from what I told you. Am I competing already?

Thank you for your help!

Hello @Claris2121

Rounds for qualification ended I'm afraid. Wild card round ended two days ago 😅

Eighth final round started today.

It's likely players who didn't manage to get to the eighth finals will get a similar event (hunt for yellow candies) but with boosters as prize for the first three players in the leaderboard. This is how it worked for Adventure Tournament

When u enter the game u can press the go back button n re-enter again. Don't exit the game just press the back button then enter.again,.keep doing it, until it comes in.

Relating to Pitty_Kitty response, I must say I’m surprised because a Wildcard round actually appeared. I played a lot and I was first when it ended, around 12 a.m. today (CEST time). I received an epic wonderball but that was it.

The event disappeared again and nothing new has shown up. I still see the wsl bear when I open the app, the bear and the yeti surfing in the background of the map and the surfboards instead of the yellow candies, but when I win levels they don’t add up to anything, as no event shows up.

I read that the first one who classifies as a wildcard should enter the tournament but there was no mention of which round of the tournament it would be (I saw there’s at least 2 wildcards available, one during eights and one during quarterfinals).

Do you have any idea of what I should do to continue in the tournament?

I’ll try going to the home button and to the map again and again hoping something will show up 😝

In the meantime, thank you very much for your help so far
