So, I'm going to Gencon, but I want to do a lot of things, so I'm not planning on going to Nationals. But. I want to try some high quality X-wing.

Is there a mini tournament?

Thanks

Same as you. I'll be playing all kinds of stuff besides xwing. Is nationals invite only?

Nope. But it is first come, first served in order to sign up for the tournament.

FFG won't be running anything besides the National tournament, but I do believe others will be running side events.
