Growtopia Gazette

December 1st: The Grand Tournament hath arrived!

The Grand Tournament has come to Growtopia! This pet battle tournament runs for 5 days, on the 7th of every month. Head to the world TOURNAMENT now, to buy your tickets before it begins!

This event is mostly for pet battlers, but once the Tournament comes to town, there are also fun and prizes for spectators!

We've also tweaked pet battles a bit: there's a new Daily Challenge, more powerful skills take a while to become available when a match begins, and long matches are forced to an end.

You've got 6 days until the tournament.. start training!

The Grand Tournament is a pet battle tournament which was added in the game on the 1st of December, 2016. The Grand Tournament update was December's monthly update, as well as the year's final monthly update, apart from WinterFest. The tournament runs for 5 days and occurs on the 7th of every month.

Entering the Tournament[]

A Tournament Ticket is required to enter the tournament. It can be bought from Master Peng in the world TOURNAMENT for 10,000 Gems. The Tournament Ticket will self-destruct whenever the tournament ends.

Only players who are above level 20 can purchase tickets and enter the Tournament, however, they can only be bought outside of the Tournament dates.

Tournament System[]

If a player has a ticket and has equipped battle pets, they will wait in a TOURNAMENT world, waiting to be paired with another player.

When a pair has been found, they will be automatically pulled a small arena where they will fight. Once the fight is over, the winner will be awarded a Tourney Token and both player's rankings will change depending on whether they won or lost.

The rankings work similar to chess rating systems, where points will be awarded based on how good the opponent is. If a player has a high rating and beats a low rating player, they will not receive many points and the opponent will not lose many points either. If a player has a low rating and beats a high rating player, they will receive much more points and the opponent will lose many points too.

On the 8th of November, 2016, a new system was put in place where if any player intentionally forfeited through respawning or leaving, they would be unable to play for thirty minutes. Also, any player caught cheating (i.e. asking friends to versus and intentionally lose, using alternate accounts or having multiple users play on the same account), they will be permanently banned from the tournament.

Tourney Tokens can be redeemed at the Prize Ladder, however, all players are limited to 20 tokens per day. However, players can choose to continue fighting as much as they wish.

Get out of here, the Tournament is an honor battle. - Master Peng when the player is banned.

Master Peng[]

Players can wrench him to check the leaderboard of the tournament during the Grand Tournament. His name - Peng Nguyen, is most likely a reference to what he looks like, a penguin.
