Dear organizer! Will this tournament be considered a stage of the Van Kanegem tournament? I would really like it to be...

Dear organizer!
Will this tournament be a stage of the Van Kanegem tournament?
I would really like it to be...

The previous tournament had that status. But unfortunately, not a single save was received. This tournament will not have that status.

In my opinion, the Van Kanegem tournament has run its course; we need new ideas, Vitya...

Heh, the tournament might be free, but the map design is quite interesting.

Heh, the tournament might be free, but the map design is quite elaborate.

It just seems that way, my friend!:smile01: The tournament is easy, and you won't have much trouble completing it. I remember you used to create such wonders...:smile02:

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to submit your final save files and the last chance to easily win: ;)

The main prize is a collector's edition of "The Beginning."

A request has been made to extend the tournament. If there are no objections, the tournament will be extended by 1 week.:smile26:

The tournament has been extended until **08/07/11**. There's a reason to stand out! :smile13:

Preliminary tournament results



Congratulations to everyone on the successful completion of the tournament. Unfortunately, Viperaio, who requested an extension of the tournament, was unable to participate. That's a pity.
However, I really enjoyed paladine_HP's game, who repeatedly improved his result during the tournament, reducing the winning time from 19 days to 14 days! The progress is obvious!:smile13:
I would like to express my gratitude to Kamaz and Szilupa for their time and willingness to play on the TE patch.
I hope that the quorum will increase in the next tournament.

Thank you all.

P.S. paladine_HP, please check your email to receive prizes and awards. ;)
Congratulations.:smile13:

It’s a pity they didn’t extend it for 7 days, but only for 5. I’ve played for 4 days so far during my vacation, but I didn’t have time for the rest, as I went to the countryside with my girlfriend.

It's a shame they didn't extend it by 7 days, but only by 5. I played for 4 days while on vacation, but didn't have time for the rest, as I was visiting my fiancée in the countryside.

It's really a shame....:( If I had known you were playing, I would have definitely extended the tournament.:smile02:

Congratulations to Sir Paladin on receiving this well-deserved award!
