2015 Regionals Results

Do you know what tournament this is? Madrid winner was 88BC.

If it happened in 88 BC, you'll need an archaeologist to help you figure out which tournament it was.

(Thanks! I'll be here all week, and don't forget to tip the wait staff!)

Well, we're certainly not tipping the comedian... :P

"Where did you dig up that old fossil?"

It actually happened

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away....

For those attending upcoming tournaments, double check your printed arcs on your base. I just checked my squad components and found one of my base arcs was offset to one side!

Does anyone know the build for the triple Interceptor list that won one of the UK regionals last weekend? Know it was Soontir, Jax and a Royal Guard, but don't know the loadout.

Pretty sure it was PtL/Stealth/Autothrusters for all 3 (99 points).

Which is awesome in a turret heavy meta, in others, not so much I find!

This isn't something that they actually check in tournaments is it? I thought you just played as it is. As long as the angle is the same, does it really matter that much if it is slightly offset? It may help on one side, but it hurts on the other.

What I did was assemble my squad components and readied them for play. When I was double checking them I noticed my one arc was offset by quite a bit on one base card. I pulled it and replaced it with one that was cut correctly.

In a game I would have had more of a blind spot on my left flank from that arc position.

Since we still don't have most of the results in List Juggler yet, I updated post #2 with all the details that I have been able to find on the Top 8 squads for each tournament.

Your one-stop-shop for checking all the Elimination lists!

We have quite a few holes, if you can help fill in any TBD , or see any mistakes, then post here.

More variety than normal, but still a lot of same old same old. I'm getting sick of Soontir Fel pretty fast.

What is that comment about luck in the WV finals about?

Barcelona regional will be hosted this saturday, with 80 players.

I'll be there,will report back any cool lists I see around

I'm surprised so many Dash and Chewie builds are making the Top 8.

I dunno. Feels somehow wrong to point out the math behind his dice rolls. He made it to the finals. He won.

We'll never know if he would have won or lost with different die rolls, all we know is he won this time. Going any further feels like devaluing his accomplishment.

Hmm there's officially no Imperials in the top 10 squads of the last 90 days on my site for the first time after updating with some of the missing regional info... dark times for the Empire. (Really it just means that the Empire has less cookie cutter squads but overall I do think they're winning less).

Edit: Made this page real quick: http://xwing.macker.co/factions.php

Appears Rebels are getting points for placing at about the same rate as Imps and S&V combined.

I am including any noteworthy comments for each tournament. Tyler had terrific odds for the final game, the chances of him rolling that well were about one in a quarter million. We likely won't see anyone else get rolls that good for any one game in the entire Regionals season let alone in a Finals match, so it is noteworthy. We had it recorded on Twitch so I could calculate the probability.

People need to bring more Decimators with Vader to knock out those Soontirs early!

I have some stats that I have compiled. I will post here when I have updated the first page with them.

Summary: 2/3 of the lists have at least 1 Fat Ship, and 1/2 the lists are turret heavy.

That's surprising to me. Even if Vader(ATC) helps drop the number of fat ships he'll be flying next to one. I thought autothrusters would cause a bigger drop.

Just a quick question, what are the prizes for regional? I know that everyone gets a Boba Fett card for showing up but what do the top 8 get? Winner?

Gunner, Vader, and HLC-Outriders probably help mitigate Autothruster advantage.
