smashthedean Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The X-Wing game day was a big success so I'm looking to put together a tournament in March. As Corey is running his event on the third Saturday and I'm out of town on the 22nd, I'm looking at the last Saturday, March 29th, as the day to shoot for. Does anyone know of any conflicts with this date? I'm looking to run the tournament with the standard Fantasy Flight Tournament rules with the following exceptions and random thoughts: Tournament Organizer Participation I'm looking to play in this tournament as well as run it, which is allowed in those rules as long as this isn't a regional, national, or world championship tournament, but that means I'll need a second for deciding rules disputes in my games. Kevin or Joey, are one of you up for this? You won't really have to do anything, just know stuff if disputes come up. Squad Building As much as I'd like to say that proxy cards or just running off a list is allowed, I think we should probably stick to the tournament rules for this, but am open to discussion on the topic. I'm fairly torn on the subject myself, but if we're calling this a "tournament" I think this is probably the right call. I do however encourage people to be cool dudes and share your Advanced Sensors or Push the Limits or Wedges or whatever you aren't using in your current list with each other to get the maximum experience of awesomeness. Component Modifications I think the rules against heavily modifying or scratch-building your own ships are dumb don't have a place in our local scene. If you want to go crazy and hobby up a model, I say go hog wild as long as it's fully painted and you have the appropriate pilot card/upgrades for it. I don't think anyone has tried doing anything like this yet, but my stance is go for it. Round Duration I'm thinking 90 minute rounds are the way to go here. Tournament standard is 75, but they come with the option of adjusting anywhere between 60 to 90 and I think having more time to play and hang out is fun. I suppose if we did have a huge turnout this could be adjusted to fit in more games, but for now I'm thinking 90. Does that sound good? Entry Fee/Prize Support The standard way that things are run for the 40k tournaments is $10 entry with that pool and half of whatever if raised put in by Nathaniel going to a raffled off prize support (with extra tickets going out for wins). I'm cool doing things that way or cutting the fee down to $5 since X-Wing stuff is less expensive in general or pretty much anything people want to do (and Nathaniel okays once I clear it with him). What do you guys want? Does this sound good to everyone? I'm probably going to talk to Nathaniel tonight about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogre Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sounds good. As a total new guy, I'd prefer the $5 option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkie Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'll probably be there since Christian never got back to me about Comicon tickets... I'll re-read the rules a few times and print out the faqs, to help you get your judge on, Kacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkie Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Good question, how have we missed that? I assume 12, but I'll probably be down for a pregame beer next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
