To register, players should visit www.tetrisparty.com/tournament. This is also where they will input their confirmation code. The confirmation code must be entered on the site once for each round the player participates in. Each player’s rank will determine the amount of tournament points they receive for that round.
Here’s how the tournament scoring works: If a player ranks No. 1 in a round, he or she will receive 1,000 points, the No. 2 ranked player will receive 999 points, and the player who ranks No. 1,000 will receive 1 point. At the end of the fourth round, Tetris Online will total up all rounds played for each player and rank the top players on a score leader board at www.tetrisparty.com/tournament.
The top 500 eligible entrants on the leader board will receive 1200 Wii Points™ from Tetris Online.
