Sauerbraten has over 10 years of competitive history to its name. The list below contains results from nearly all of the various leagues run during that time, ordered chronologically.
Premier Sauerbraten League
PSL ran from 2007-2010, administrated and organized primarily by oo|shmutz. It was the first Sauerbraten tournament in history, and one of the longest running. PSL laid the groundwork for future leagues with the allvall qualifier format, best of three title matches, and, in the later stages, public polls to decide which maps were played.
Sauerbraten Dangerous Monkeys Championship
SDMC was a relatively brief series of tournaments run by the Dangerous Monkeys clan. While it had somewhat less pomp and circumstance than PSL or SWL, it was a huge success – well administered, with a wide variety of modes and a distinguished list of competitors.
Sauerbraten World League
SWL ran from 2011-2013, administrated and organized by Achille|sp4nk|, with technical assistance from Markku and Pisto. Also of note was the first and last nations cup, which was won by Germany, and the SWL insta and effic ladders, won by notas and Acuerta respectively.
Sauerbraten Day of Sobriety (SDoS) was a tournament organized by mefisto in late 2013. It originally planned to host multiple modes and events, but, due to a number of factors (mostly ddos) only managed one – Insta 1v1, won by {QS}ConMan after the later disqualifiaction of Apollon (Bounty).
SauerCom Events
An eCTF tourney and effic ladder hosted by Acuerta in 2014, aiming to provide much needed competition during the gap between major tournaments.

Miscellaneous Tournaments
* events up through SD #33 took place with the community unaware that w00p|raffael was using a triggerbot. Upon discovery of this, he was disqualified, and rankings and placements were recalculated.
SauerLeague
the notas Summer Fun League was two team events run in the summer of 2019 by notas and the SD staff. The cheeky name does not have anything to do with the quality of the games, which were hard fought and competitive.
In May of 2020, with the world in lock-down due to Covid-19, swatllama hosted Sauer’s 3rd World Cup event. 2020 saw the balance of power in Sauer shift somewhat from the last world cups, with USA winning the gold, Eastern Europe falling to second, and France coming in third, knocking Germany off the podium altogether.
SVN Tourneys 2020
Between the end of Sauer Duels and the release of the new version of Sauerbraten, a number of informal events were held on the beta version of the game for the purpose of testing new mechanics, finding bugs, and playing new maps.
