This a 48 player/4 Round Tournament. In the first two rounds, all of you Grinches will be competing to see who can steal the Whos toys. In the third round, you catch the Christmas Spirit and have a change of heart. You have to return the toys into the house. If you can return the toys then you will earn a spot in the final round. If you win that round then you will be The Victorious Grinch!
PLEASE: Only join this tournament if you are the type of player that logs in throughout the day. The Christmas map is only available for a limited time and your desire to play throughout the day is appreciated.
Note: The alternative map for this tournament will be Classic or World 2.0 (symbolizing Santa's flying around the world). Which map will be chosen at my discretion.
