Contest Description:

Beginning on September 15th, 2012, eight teams of four members each will put everything on the line to prove that they have what it takes to survive in the unforgiving wilderness of SMP1. These fearless adventurers will pit their skills against each other to see who can be the first to travel 50,000 blocks from the wilderness spawn.

How You can be a Part of This Epic Adventure:

1. Find a team with an open slot and see if you have what it takes!
2. Slots all full, or you're too busy? Consider donating prizes to this fantastic competition.
Rupees, items, tools or diamonds would make these adventurers smile! Maybe some of the new
emeralds would be a fine prize to celebrate their achievements? Get creative and share in the
adventure your own way.
