Tournament Kits

By Funkleton, in X-Wing

I see no evidence to suggest that smaller stores won't keep getting kits just because they can't fit 32 people into the building.

Nor do I, but it could happen, and I don't think it helps foster a growing community.

In what way? It's a store championship, not a regional, how would removing a store from having a championship foster a growing community? In this case, that's 8 slots that wouldn't be available if they were denied a kit, those 8 slots aren't moving to another store, they'd just be gone.

Because if there is a limit on kits available, it would be more beneficial to be given to an area that can have more people attend then a small 8 person one. But that's if they do that, and if they are truly that limited. It's a lot of variables but something I personally know I would be careful of.

I don't even get what you're arguing for, it's just full of hypothetical scenarios that have no basis in reality. What limit? Has this even been proposed? Why on earth would FFG even consider doing such a thing?

AFAIK, the store kits are not limited, but I'm not a store owner or involved with FFG in any way, so I can't be sure. They do have to apply well in advance (like October), this might be so FFG knows how many kits to make (I seem to recall they pack these in house), or a review process for the store, but I'm just guessing here. The Regional kits however, are very limited, and I'm pretty sure plenty of space is one of the requirements. If this were a regional, yeah I'd be concerned, but it's not.

Anyways, as stated already arguing about hypotheticals with only partial information is pointless, so I'm going to stop here.
