Compared to last year's tournament, which was held in July and August
2011, the following things changed:
- Most of the streak trophies have been removed.
- New games: GruntHack and NetHack4
- New clan trophy: most trophy combinations
- The tournament is in June (and will be in the future)
- The tournament web site look has been slightly updated and bugs have
been fixed
Happy hacking!
