Registration for the 2010 World of Warcraft Arena Tournament has began. Registration costs $20 and is open to any active World of Warcraft account with both the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King expansions activated.
The tournament is dedicated to 3v3 Arena matches. (2v2 and 5v5 matches can be played for fun, but only the 3v3 ladder results are being rewarded.) Players get the chance to create three level-80 fully-customizable characters equipped with full sets of epic gear.

The winning team will take home the impressive sum of $75,000. The second-place team will win $30,000, and the third-place team will be awarded $15,000.
