I was TO for this one and did not play.
4 rounds, 75 minutes each, 18 players (9 Imperial, 9 Rebel)
Every game finished on time. That's why I love 75 over 60 minute games.
Only 2 Modified Match Wins all day, so scoring and placement were very tight! Any one of the top 5–6 players could have won the day. And the middle 6 players all scored equally at 12 Match Points. A fun and tightly competitive field!
A lot of different lists. Only 2 pairs of super mirrors, and they both fought their evil twins. Some uncommon pilot choices in the mix too.
1st Place (4–0)
BH, Howlrunner +Determination, 4x Academy
2nd-5th Place (3–1, each with 16 Match Points, not one of these players lost to one of the others, order of placement determined entirely by Strength of Schedule, and the top 2 had equal SoS, so Points Destroyed was the next breaker)
2nd BH +HLC +Recon, Soontir +PtL, Turr +VI
3rd Han +ExHand +Nien +Luke, 2x Blue Sqd (lost to 1st Place player in round 4)
4th BH, Howlrunner, 4x Academy (lost super mirror match to 1st Place player in round 3, yes they are friends)
5th Garven, Dutch +ICT, 2x Red Sqd
6th (3–1, 14 Match Points)
2x Blue Sqd +HLC, 2x Rookie
7th-12th Place (2-2, each with 12 Match Points; and by weird coincidence, player numbers 13-18)
