How long does each Splatfest usually last? Also, how do Splatfests usually work?

they last around three days, friday through sunday, but the time depends on what your time zone is. Splatfests are centered around a theme with three choices with an idol representing each the current spaltfest is drums (shiver) vs guitar (frye) vs keyboard (bigman). when the splatfest is officially announced in-game there'll be a booth where you can pick your team though the splatfest usually wont start til two weeks later. youll wear a team shirt representing your team of choice as you engage in splatfest battles against the other two teams. the results arent officially announced until an hour after the splatfest is over buuut there are the sneak peak winner and halftime winner. the sneak peak winner is whichever team got the most votes/the team that got picked the most and the halftime is in the middle of the splatfest that shows which team is currently in the lead.
sooo basically whichever team wins the most battles and such wins the splatfest.
youll get the hang of it when your first splatoon 3 splatfest starts!
also you cant change your tee while the splatfest is going on, ranked battles arent open, there are threeway battles after the halftime winner is announced where youre put on either the defending or attacking team. the attacking team will try to get a device that will help you ink your turf but the defending team will try to stop you. the attacking team will consist of two players from two teams ex. two drums team members and two keyboard team members while the defending team will have four guitar team members. may cod be on your side if youre on the attacking because although you and another team are technically on the same team they will still try to splat you there is no order in this world.
