Sophisticated performances are one of several time-honored traditions of the Tournament.
Taking up the entirety of the Argent Tournament Grounds on Moon Guard-US, the event is comprised of several events and competitions, from the prestigious joust to performances, photo contests, Hearthstone matches, pet battles, charity art actions, PvP duels, cooking competitions, raffles and more; capped off by the illustrious Wonderlight Ball! Winners stand to earn fame, fortune, and everlasting glory, but spectators are also bound to find something of interest in the many community run booths lining the tournament grounds.
Unfortunately, only one day remains for the grand tournament, but that still gives you a little bit of time to stop by to enjoy the sights, sounds, and creativity in support of a great cause and dedicated RP community. So far, the Tournament of Ages has raised a remarkable $22,691!

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!
