I've updated the Dublin event details with the third place list. I'm still trying to nail down the 1st and 4th place lists and then will try and work my way out from there. I was talking to one of the lads who was there last night. While they had everybody's lists, he's not sure if Gamer's World hung on to them afterwards.

Nothing in Italy?

Final Cut : Nope - just 5 rounds of Swiss

Was there any reason for no Cut?

At 34 players, FFG instructions are to run 6 Swiss Rounds and a Top 8 Cut.

Some updates: FFG updated their tool on May 12, so I pulled in the Germany and Mexico Regional locations. I also changed the formatting of the list, so the result headers are now:

City, State/Province, Country

I've updated the Dublin event details with the third place list. I'm still trying to nail down the 1st and 4th place lists and then will try and work my way out from there. I was talking to one of the lads who was there last night. While they had everybody's lists, he's not sure if Gamer's World hung on to them afterwards.

Thanks. Final Cut and especially the winning list is the most important thing to get. In this case that means the Top 4. Can you confirm if it was 12 or 14 players? Not a big deal if you can't, since it doesn't actually affect the statistics the way I will be tallying them, since Final Cut or Top Third is the top 4 either way.

Nothing in Italy?

Not according to FFG's tool here:

http://tools.fantasyflightgames.com/iwp/2014-star-wars-x-wing-regional-championships

... but that is apparently not a complete list. They have been adding International venues to that list. If you know of any Regionals in Italy then let us know and we will add it for tracking here!

Great, thanks. I didn't even know if / when Germany would be having their Regionals, since FFGs tool was only updated to include them on May 12. If you can track down any more of the Top 16 at this event, then please do let us know.

Here's a link to the Aldershot Regional report:

http://teamcovenant.com/jdowdall/2014/05/14/uk-aldershot-regionals/

Thanks, I scoured his report to get the Top 4, and a couple other squads. A full report would be nice, but I don't know if anybody has one. If anyone else posts reports on TC, please feel free to pass it along. :)

Its a good bet Neil will make a write up of Aldershot, but he is extremely busy at the moment, so who knows when it will get posted.

I'm not quit sure about that. I guess that it was mainly a time decision. Even with 5 rounds of swiss we played from 11 to 21h - with an one hour break. It was a sunday and some players even arrived from far further regions (like Hamburg - a famous X-Wing stronghold) - 6 Rounds + Top 8 Cut would be too much time.

So it was mainly a pragmatic decision - i believe.

No problem! I like the idea of such a Regional-Thread. There are 4 more Regionals in Germany and 1 or 2 in Austria. I fear that it is very difficult to track down more of the Lists. It was a very busy day and some of the players want to keep their lists hidden - mainly because of the ongoing Regional season in Germany.

So we also have Regionals in Austria! Do you know where and when they will be?

The other Top 4 list was also a dual falcon list as the 2nd place finisher and I'm fairly certain it was the exact same build (I believe they were brothers).

Yup... the brothers played each other in the semis with the same exact list, and it came down to 2 hull. Go go dice! In other news, I spoke with the TO, and he said that he's planning on posting the full top 16 tomorrow, so we can just wait for that before we try to fill in all the blanks.

The Franklin, WI Regional Top 8 squad lists are now complete.

The Franklin, WI Regional Top 8 squad lists are now complete.

Thanks Boxer. If anyone has the Top 16 or even Top 20 then I will certainly add them later, since it was such a large turnout.

Not sure there is a good list after top 8 as they did not post final records for people while I was there and were having issues with strength of schedule as a result of store champ byes. Making the top 8 had the start of the 4-2 group and there was a lot of us in there!

edit: for the Franklin WI regional if that was not clear.

Thanks Macar. Hopefully the TO can post the results for the Top 16 as well, turnout was good.

Thanks Academy Pilot. I'm going to assume that Roark had an Ion Cannon Turret, since that would put the squad at exactly 100 points.
