Whether you are a rookie Red Squadron Pilot or have elan just bursting out of your Tie Advanced, our Thursday Night X-Wing League will accommodate!

Earn league points for winning, losing and even just completing in-battle achievements towards cool Promos!

Week One of our X-Wing League will feature matched pairs of players due to the week's release of the new Wave 7 ships. Learn to use the K-Wing's new maneuvering, fear the Tie-Punisher's insane ordinance and loathe the YV-666's death-dodging capabilities!

Squadrons will need to follow typical tournament build rules and be of 100pts and rounds will last 75 minutes.

Great turn-out! Looks like we may have 12 or 14 for The Great Furball next week!

....We'll make it work somehow.

Here are the rules I've poached from somewhere else:

  • Players will each have 33 points to outfit a single ship.
  • Teams will be formed of (likely) 3 to a team
  • Teams will face off against one other team for 2 hours (7:30-9:30pm)
  • Deployment is just like a typical Tournament Dogfight
  • Victory is determined by the Team with the highest VP (Victory Point) Total
  • Destruction of a Ship nets 2VPs to the opposing team.
  • The last opposing player to have hit the destroyed ship gains a +1VP Bounty on his/her ship until destruction
  • Upon destruction, a player's ship is deployed fresh (including munitions) on his/her next Planning phase just like at the beginning of the game.

Teams will be awarded League Points based on their VP Total -- exact formula to be determined. ;)

See you next Thursday!

Holy crap, we had 20+ showing up for this week's Furball!

Definitely going to tweak it down to about an hour or hour-and-a-half for our next attempt, two hours seemed to drag just a teensy bit too long, and we could fit in multiple matches that way!

Otherwise the rules held up to the test. We are DEFINITELY doing another Team Furball soon.

Next week:

Week Three of our X-Wing League will feature a two-part, two-round, two-week Team Epic game. Everyone has their CR-90s and Imperial Raiders now--Let's put them to use!

Teams will be player-made and in groups of 2, or 3 if necessary with 300points split roughly equally between team-mates.

Rules summary and team formation from 7pm-7:25pm, Round begins at 7:30pm.

One 150-minute round per league night, for two weeks total.
One epic ship is required per team.

Winning teams of the Winners and Losers brackets will get bonus League points, plus we are giving away a fancy circa-1997 Star Wars Sticker Sheet to the Winning team to split. Made in Canada, so you know it's quality.

Tough games last night in our Team Epics Competition!

The Darth Raiders handily defeated the Red Squadron, meanwhile on the other side of the room a brutal back and forth between Alphabet Soup and Sexier People resulted in a 2 point difference in Margin of Victory. Yeesh!

Next week the Darth Raiders will face off against Alphabet Soup for bonus league points and some fun swag, and the Sexier People and Red Squadron will pair up to see who is the least worst! These are three man teams and several can not make it to next week's game, so if you would like to try out Team Epics this is a great opportunity.

Teams will be reformed and squad lists created 7pm-7:25pm and we'll get going at 7:30pm sharp next Thursday. For more information on the event check out the event page: https://www.facebook.com/roundthetable/photos/pcb.1666244890276534/994570267232952/?type=1&theater
