👋 It's been a while since we last ran a tournament. Let's fix that with our December 2024 tournament! 🎅

[h2]What are the rules?[/h2]
We will be releasing secretly tested maps randomly over the month.
You will be able to earn points by:

• Finishing maps: 10 points for finishing each map
  
• Ranking into top 10 of one or several maps by the end of the event, ranging from 10 points to 1 point per map depending on your rank
  

[h2]How long will it last?[/h2]
Event starts on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 6:00 PM with the first map release and ends on Monday, December 30, 2024 at 6:00 PM!

[h2]How to participate?[/h2]
Just join any of our server and vote any of the map release through December within the "NEW MAP" subcategory. You can stay tuned with the rankings.

Thanks a lot to snail for organizing (and writing this announcement), Welf for organizing and testing, Knuski, catseyenebulous, J$ON, Welshi, meloƞ for testing, and to every mapper contributing to the event!
