# WL Tournament 2010 ¶

We are proud to present the first Widelands tournament ever : it will take place 20th september till the end of october. ¶

It‘s not only a competition, but also a celebration of what Widelands became in the last 9 years: ¶
A highly detailed strategy game with a plenty of different playing opportunities, many cute animations, graphics and sounds, translated over 50% in 18 languages, including 3 tribes, 4 landscapes, an editor, (in near future: several win conditions), a lot of maps and the possibility to play against the computer or other players. So let‘s party this success of many engaged graphic designers, translators, map creators and programmers! ¶

##Who? ¶
It‘s open for everyone! Playing together is possible via internet or local network. The final games take place the week-end of the !WiHack 2010 reloaded, but you don‘t have to be present there to win :-) ¶
As we want to play a double elimination tournament, the number of participants has to be a squaring of 2, so the first 2/4/8/16/32... registrating players will play. ¶

##When? ¶
* Preliminaries during october 2010 ¶
* Semi-Finals: Saturday, 30th october 2010 ¶
* Final and Game for place 3: Sunday, 31tst october 2010 ¶

##How to registrate? ¶
* per private message to [Kristin](http://wl.widelands.org/messages/compose/Kristin/) ¶
* with (nick)name and indication which tribe you play in the first game ¶
* until 19th september 2010 (that‘s soon, but so we can do all games until the !WiHack). The combinations will be presented here after the end of the registration period. ¶

##How to play? ¶
* 1 vs. 1, Player combinations will be drawn by lot and presented here. If there are many registrations, this mode may be changed to a playing in groups. ¶
* Widelands build 15 or - if the two players agree - any newer developer‘s snapshot ¶
* Games are hosted by one of the two players or another person. Due to a bug in build 15 for Windows, a Windows player cannot host games. To find someone, who hosts a game for 2 Windows players, ask in the [IRC chat](http://wl.widelands.org/webchat/). ¶
* After every game, each of the players sends a private message to [Kristin](http://wl.widelands.org/messages/compose/Kristin/) with 1. „I won!“ / „I lost“ , 2. indication which tribe he plays in the next game. The winner has to attach the replay of the game (instruction will be added soon). ¶
* Playing which tribe? Your favorite! You have to indicate which tribe you will play next in the registration respectively the won/lost-message to Kristin. So it‘s determined, but secret until the start of the next game. ¶
* Playing which map? For each game, there is a predetermined map. For the first game, it‘s „Glacier Lake“. ¶
* There will be 2 - 8 games per person. For every game, the players will have approx. one week. Exceptions are the Semi-Final and the Final which should take place on 30th and 31st october. ¶

##Why? ¶
* For fun! ?* To go down into the annals of history as one of the participants of the first Widelands Tournament ever ¶
