The tournament will begin on Monday, the 16th of November and the first round will run through the next week until Sunday, the 22nd of November. The following rounds will be in subsequent weeks.

It should include your player name and the name of your team as well as your partner's player and team name. Signup will be open until Sunday, the 15th of November at 23:00 CET. Please respect that deadline this time (;

Rules
Will be similar to the ones of the second tournament, but better (: More on them will follow next week.

Prize
Oh, you mean besides fame and glory beyond your wildest imagination? Well, there will be visual indication on your site profile and, when EXP is implemented, you'll profit from your win, too.

This one's gonna be a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to see great matches. I hope to have all of you signing up!

On Thursday, the 14th of July 2009, after five weeks of hard matches and merciless fragging, the finals of the second Hedgewars Tournament went down.

Nemo & Magik_181 managed to pull of two consecutive wins and thus successfully beat Schischa & Norg in those exciting matches. Congratulations!

You can read Tiyuri's Score Sheet in the forums or watch the demos here.
