What's new in 2022?

SlashTHEM on the hardfought public servers is a variant that is returning to the tournament, after it has been last featured in the tournament of 2015.

What's new in 2020?

The newly supported variants are SLASH'EM, the bleeding edge development version of NetHack 3.7.0 on the hardfought public servers, and GnollHack on the gnollhack.com public servers.

What's new in 2019?

DNethack SLEX, notdNetHack, and EvilHack are new variants that are featured for the first time in the tournament.

DNethack SLEX is available for play on the em.slashem.me public server and notdNetHack and EvilHack are available on the Hardfought public servers.

EvilHack features many of the same new achievements that UnNetHack had added for Junethack's 2018 tournament.

Elven anachrononauts have been banned from the tournament (because their starting inventory makes them too good at grinding Medusa kills).

What's new in 2018?

NetHack 1.3d, the first version of NetHack ever released, is again part of the tournament. It is playable on the hardfought.org public servers.

xNetHack and SpliceHack are new variants that are featured for the first time in the tournament, both available for play on the hardfought.org public servers.

UnNetHack has a lot of new achievements. Essentially killing a unique monster will earn an achievement and killing every unique of certain classes (e.g. riders or quest leaders) will earn you an additional achievement.

Clan admins can set a banner for their clans.

The clan trophy for log(points) has been dropped, as it was too easily abused. A replacement is planned but not yet finished.

Likewise with the number of variants in the tournament, the cross-variant achievements will need some adjustements.
