I warm my hands by putting it in warm/hot water from the restroom sink. Quickest way to warm your hands and most efficient IMO.
I just put them under armpits (i do not sweat lol). But when i consider the match important i usually put them 1 min under hot water (but it seems they get frozen again faster then).
This is a very bad way to warm your hands. It may warm them faster, but it makes them moist. Even if you dry them very well, your skin absorbs some of the water and they will actually get colder much much faster than if they were completely dry.
I find that the most effective way to warm your hands is to stick them down your pants and place your palms and back of hands against the inside of your thighs. Putting them on your armpits or balls isn't as good because those areas are usually somewhat moist. The key is to keep them as dry as possible.

i like the use of using your natural body heat. never thought of using armpits.
edit: good point ortoss, i figured making your hands wet prob had a negative effect to the goal in mind

Solve rubik's cubes, it gets your hands warm quite quickly. The 3x3x3 cube is best for warming up. The other cubes takes too long time.

Stick em in the microwave. You can't run the micro when the door is ajar, so you have to stick a fork in the lock, and then you can do it.

I solve a rubix cube, it does wonders. I try to finish it before the game starts.
Edit: Sniped. >.>

I shower my hands with warm tap water to warm them up before games. If they get cold mid-game, I place them in my armpits (best place to heat them up) for a little while.

I will clap my hands together very hard many times. By doing this you force blood to rush to the hands. When I can see my hands slightly red and can feel them warm or slightly sting, I will start to stretch each finger by bending each finger back for a few seconds. Maybe bend the fingers back a little more during a second stretch.
Then I will rub my hands a lot and also make my fingers "air type" really fast, and repeat the process 1 more time. Adjust my seat, make sure I have a drink, and begin the battles.
Fore the outside of your hands you could try putting your fists together and rub the knuckles of your fists together very fast creating a lot of friction, do this for 60 seconds. Works very well. Make sure you are pushing your fists together with reasonable force, not too hard though.
Of course, this may work well for me, but what works for you may be different.

yeah but if you have to dry them 100% which is difficult, or else they just get even colder when the moisture evaporates.
i just fold my arms and clamp my hands under my pits. haha.

Rubik's cube is awesome for warming up hands and get the mind to think about something else after a game.

I wash my hands in really warm water for a long time. (almost 1 min) And then they are ready to go.

put them in a boiling water

I know that most army surplus stores and outdoor equipment stores sell hand-warmers. You might also be able to find them at drug stores. They will usually come as either cheap one-time-use types, or as expensive reheatable ones that you can microwave.

Even tried buying a pair of hand warmers which gotta admit was pretty nice to use
Now if only I could find the kind that you could microwave and reuse
I think you can put rice in some cloth and use that if I am not mistaken.

Amazon sells various types of hand warmers. Gloves, electric gloves, microwave pouches, re-usable chemical pouches (boil in hot water to return to original state typically).

Stand up.
Put on a good replay.
Practice various martial arts strikes. Just punch as fast as you can for 60 seconds straight. Do that with rests for a commentary or two, you'll warm up.
Ideally you'll have some fighting training, but anyone can throw a punch.
Then have a shower, and put on a sweater. Your ambient body heat will keep your hands warm without having to actually warm the hands themselves.
