HWC 2022 Announcement and Registration

Hi all!

The 2022 Horde World Championship is here at last! The format this year will be exactly the same as last year: double elimination with the winner of the bracket playing @Sinamon73 in the final match for the Horde World Champion title.

The tournament starts on September 25th, matches will be 10 games of 2+2 rated horde, and each round will last one week.

All the details and rules for the tournament can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1aco3jluKQa1iqA1sltsIEMQFfhiB3mw1lKB2EujMn2g/edit. If you would like to participate (and have not participated in the 2021 hwc) please read through the document. Just like last year, registrants are required to complete a short quiz, docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJJA0JUhs-7Wqbam1-SIIvCeUvJWES75mAt439rMJtusnz4g/viewform, in order to participate. This is to ensure all registrants are (at least somewhat) familiar with the rules.

Aside from completing the quiz, all you need is an account created before June 2022 and to have played at least 100 rated horde games before September 24th.

To register, reply "I'm in" in this forum. Registrations will close on September 24th at 23:59 UTC and first round pairings will be posted the following day. Registrants will be notified when this happens.

Feel free to message me with any questions!
Good luck everybody, this will be fun to watch.
Thank you Sinamon as always
