The /dev/null/nethack tournament is "probably" the longest running gaming tournament on the Internet, having run every November since 1999. The tournament's main website is at http://nethack.devnull.net/. It runs from midnight Pacific Time (PDT with the new extended Daylight Savings Time in the USA), 1 November (Halloween night) until midnight PT, 1 December.
During this time, players compete for a wide range of trophies ranging from simple stars for reaching in-game goals shy of ascension to trophies for impressive multi-ascension feats.
The competition is in vanilla nethack, with custom patches applied to provide a new optional "challenge" each year. The old challenges (going back to 2005) are all available. The new challenge's identity is kept secret to make things more interesting for the players.
