Tournaments
There has been a big number of tournaments, special events and other forms of competition throughout the years. As soon as the Internet became common in most of the world, the concept of a Stunts online competition quickly spawned. Arguably the first recorded online tournament was Stunts Grand Prix, starting in August 1997. Since then, many others formed separately and gradually began to meet one another. ZakStunts has been the longest standing one and with its formation came the Stunts Forum and the stunts.hu domain some time after, which unified most of the efforts as regards online Stunts.
Yearly Champions
Here is a list of champions of all official Stunts tournaments over the history. Note that only competitions that had a champion officially declared by the managers are included.
