To further enhance the Tetris Party experience that's coming soon to the WiiWare service, Hudson has announced a Tetris Party Tournament for North American gamers that will kick off on the first of December.
Tetris Party will hit the WiiWare service later today, which is good news for those who want to get in a little early practice for the tournament. Below is the official statement as well as a link to the official Tetris Party Tournament website.
Tetris Party Tournament
On December 1, 2008, the first of four separate Tetris Party Tournaments will begin. The first tournament will be composed of 4 individual rounds with each round featuring a different game mode from Tetris Party. At the end of each round, participants will receive a tournament ranking and special code to register here at TetrisParty.com.
Complete details, prize information and tournament rules will be available for review when the tournament begins. Be sure to bookmark this website for future reference.
We don't yet know what the prizes will be, but we'll have more information on the tournament as it becomes available. We'll also have a full review of Tetris Party as soon as it becomes available on the WiiWare service.

Neat idea! A bit like Mario Kart, I guess

Which region is this for? Edit: Aw, like it says on the link, for the US.
Feels like another great week is dawning

Why are you saying this is only for US gamers? Looking at the official page, there isn't any restriction...

It's fairly safe to say that this won't be a worldwide competition. This is the North American site as it shows ESRB rating logo.
The Star Soldier R competition was region limited so I am sure this will be too.

I put that up because if you look at the link, it has US in the url. It's been changed to "North American Gamers" now. If we find out the tournament will include other regions we'll post the information.

Thanks for the info Corbie, lets see how it develops
Would be cool if it was worldwide, then we would be getting Tetris Party this friday. But heck, not getting my hopes up for nothing.

There's a tournament? Screw MM9 then! This game is where my money's going!
@Knucklessonic8. I hope they have a BB tournament too. But not too soon. I'm almost out of points again! Xo
Give me a month or 5 and I should be ready.
