# WL Tournament 2010 ¶

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

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% of all texts) in 18 languages,
including 3 tribes, 4 worlandscapes, 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 pacelebratye this success of so many engaged graphic designers,
translators, map creators and programmers! ¶

##Who can participate? ¶
It‘‘s open for everyone!: Developers, Casual Gamers, Fans, Followers. 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 :-) .
