Sponsored Weekly Tournaments

Every week in Angry Birds Friends, there is a new Weekly Tournament. Sometimes this tournament may be themed or sponsored. Sponsored tournaments often support good causes, such as the Champions for Earth tournament, which was sponsored by the Earth Day Network.

Roll with the Pangolins (Pangolin Tournament)
The tournament was endorsed by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, who is the president of United for Wildlife. United for Wildlife work to fight against illegal wildlife trade. The tournament was created to support the conservation of pangolins, the world's most endangered mammal.
 * Ran from: November 17-23, 2014
 * In support of: United for Wildlife

An original short, "Meet the Pangolin" was created to promote the tournament. Two birds (not Angry Birds) watch a pangolin eating insects and ask what species it is. The birds mishear the pangolin's answer, thinking it is a penguin and then a mandolin. The pangolin breaks down its name (the syllables appear on screen, spelling "Pan-Go-Lin") and tells the birds to "deal with it". One of the birds says to the other "Doesn't look like a penguin to me".

Earth Hour Tournament
The tournament was promoted with a Piggy Tales-style short. A scientist pig builds a power generator in which a pig has to run on a wheel (like a hamster wheel) to power a light bulb. Another pig begins running on the wheel, and then a third, lighting up the bulb, much to the scientist pig's delight. The pigs generate too much power and cause a power surge which causes lights around the world to go out. The pigs are then left in darkness.
