Hello all,

I've decided it's about time we found out just who the best Hedgewars players are, and so I bring you our very first Hedgewars tournament. I'm not sure how well this will work out, as Hedgewars is still a relatively small game, but there's enough interest on the forums to give it a go.

When
The tournament will begin on Saturday the 14th of February, the first round will run through the next week until friday the 20th of February. The following rounds will be in subsequent weeks.

Signup
So how do you sign up for the tournament? Simply make a user account (if you're a forum member you should already have one) and leave a comment to this news post. Your comment should include your player name, and the name of the team you plan to use in the tournament. You have the rest of this weekend to sign up, entry will close on monday the 9th of February.

Rules

• Each match will be the best of three games
• Each game will use the default weaponset, health and turn time
• Each match will take place on a randomly generated map
• Every game in a particular round must be played within the week scheduled for that round
• When a match is finished, players must announce the winners in the forum thread at the end of this post
• Demos should be saved for matches where able
• Matches not played within the week schedule will be subject to review, if one or both parties are found to be responsible for the match not being played, that player/players will be knocked out of the tournament
• If a network problem occurs whilst both teams have more than 3 hogs the match will be replayed
