### How to Participate
When you join the event, you must select your preferred spooky best friend — **Zombie, Skeleton, or Ghost**. After making your choice, you will receive a special themed t-shirt representing your team.
This t-shirt is not just for show; it can earn skills that you can reset affordably, making it a great way to farm ability chunks during the event. Keep in mind, the Splatfest t-shirt will be **removed from your inventory once the event ends**.

### Leveling Up Your Catalog & Clout
By participating and leveling up your Catalog, you contribute to your team’s overall victory. The event calculates winners based on several factors, including:
– Votes cast by players
– Clout earned in Open battles
– Clout earned in Pro battles
– Performance in the Tricolor Battle
Higher Catalog levels mean you earn more **Conch Shells**, which translate into increased **Clout points** — a crucial metric in deciding the winning team.

### Splatfest Rewards
Veteran Splatoon 3 players will be familiar with the rewards system. The more you play and the higher your rank climbs during the event, the more **Super Sea Snails** you can earn. These valuable items help you upgrade your gear, so participating actively is well worth your time.
