MouseHunt Tournaments are mice-catching competitions. They are unlocked when the hunter advances to the Apprentice-Title and in order to join a tournament one has to join or create a Hunting Party. When in an active tournament, sounding the Party Horn will send you on party hunts. This means that only people in your Hunting Party will be brought along with you if they are ready to hunt, and vice versa, only those in your Hunting Party will bring you along for a hunt. An advantage to party hunts is that they happen independent of location. Each party member could be in a different environment and, as long as they are ready to hunt, they will be brought along on a hunt when the Party Horn is sounded. Random trap checks still occur when you are in an active tournament, but those catches will not add to your Party Points. As soon as the tournament is over, normal horn hunts resume as usual.
Hunters can win Tournament Token(s) if their team finishes within the Top 100 in a Tournament. The Top 3 Parties get a Champion's Chest as a prize. As of now the Chest and Tokens cannot be opened or used. The Devs hinted that Tournament Tokens will be used to craft 3 new bases and a special kind of cheese. Tournament Chests might contain an "Uber Token".
Party Points
Party Points are the points that are given to the Hunting Party for catching the right mice in a Tournament. The actual number of points depends on the mouse that is caught, the settings of the tournament and whether or not the multiplier is activated. The party points accumulated in a tournament determine the scoreboard rankings and as such the winners.
Multiplier
The Multiplier increases the received amount of Party Points for each caught mouse by multiplying it from x1 up to x10. The Multiplier raises as the party catches more mice and decreases when the party fails to catch or attract mice. The multiplier resets to x1 if the party doesn't sound a horn for an hour, but will not reset for 3 hours from the start of scheduled maintenance.

Tournament Types
There are many types of tournaments running each day, and more are continually added so the listing below is unlikely to be comprehensive. The details of a particular tournament are often available for viewing within the game by choosing a tournament from the drop down list, and noting the text that appears.
Alphabet Madness
Each mouse is worth the number of points that corresponds to the letter of the alphabet that begins the mouse's name. (example: Acolyte = 1 point, Zombie = 26 points).
AweSUM
All mice are worth as many points as there are letters in their name, excluding "Mouse". (example: "White" = 5 points, "Wicked Witch of Whisker Woods" = 25 points), with the exception of Students and Masters, which are worth 4 to 5 points.
