What is the Tournament of Ages?
Every year, the Tournament of Ages brings the champions of Azeroth together at the Argent Tournament Grounds of Icecrown in the spirit of competition during a week's worth of games, festivities, and competitions. Fabulous prizes await those who prove themselves the very best in tests of strength, will, and prowess, while artisans from around the world show off their creations at established booths. All are welcome at the tournament grounds, where revelry, riches, and glory await!

Events and Competitions
Originally switching charities each year, since 2021 the Tournament has partnered with
Blessings in a Backpack, which provides ready-to-eat meals for children in Elementary School in 46 states, all for the cost of around $5. The group has been very clear about their efforts and needs, going above and beyond with releasing information, and has maintained a 100% 4-star rating on
charity navigator for many years.

Community Booths
The Tournament features a wide variety of both stationary and wandering
Booths run by guilds and individual members of the community to host various experiences, from live art drawing, walk-up roleplay experiences, and even special in-game quests using addons like TRP3extended.
Booths are fully run by players who each come up with a unique business plan or menu, spending the week interacting with the community and players to provide that special experience. For example,
Irishmoo draws live portraits every year for free,
livestreamed on Twitch, previously creating a record 91 portraits in 7 days!
Support the Cause
Admission to the tournament is free for all, though attendees and fans are encouraged to
donate to Blessings in a Backpack through Tiltify, in order to help support a great cause. Tournament organizers don't handle any proceeds themselves.
Since partnering with Blessings in a Backpack in
2021, the Tournament has raised
over $99,000, with a record high of $33,042 in
2023!
