Junethack is a NetHack tournament. Started in 2011, it runs annually during June. It's also known as the NetHack Cross-Variant Summer Tournament.
It features virtual trophies for achievements and user and clan competitions.
Junethack differs from other tournaments like the /dev/null/nethack tournament insofar as that the users play on participating public servers instead of dedicated tournament servers. This allows to continue established accounts and also to include variants with relative ease.
Many of the actively developed NetHack forks are eligible for the tournament.
The Junethack website is used to manage users' accounts and clans. The scoreboards are there as well.
