question on regionals

By bunglebones86, in X-Wing Organized Play

hey jus a quick question,

I live in the UK, I recently won my store championship.

Does the card you receive from winning allow you to get into a regional tournament even if its fully booked?

My closest regional tournament is sold out and it would be too far to travel to one of the other locations

It gives you a bye in the first round. It cannot override physical limitations of the actual tournament.

thanks dude, just a shame. the uk nationals are sold out too.

entered looking more just to pick up some cool stuff for being involved, didnt think I would win now i ve got a card but nowhere to use it lol

I'd say talk to the event organizer and explain your situation. See if he can make room for you because obviously they would want a store championship winner in the competition when theyre at that level of event. Here in the US i'm still waiting for word on where regionals will be havent even thought about nationals yet. I'm suprised that for you guys its already booked for both thats both great and dissapointing.

yeah uk nationals are at the uk games expo, went on sale 16th feb, they sold out pretty fast
