PLAYER RESPONSIBILITIES

In addition to adhering to good sportsmanship and all venue and game rules, players will be expected to do the following:


PRIOR TO EVENT:

Build a legal, 100 point X-Wing squad, including obstacle selection, print and complete a roster sheet (https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/ec/88/ec882449-8a1a-4a8f-a245-57f4a95b34ad/xwing-deck-sheet2.pdf) for the event organizer to review during check-in. You should arrive with your ships assembled, based and ready to play in order to speed set up. Proxied cards are NOT allowed, and customized third-party play aids (IE acrylic tokens, range and maneuver rulers) may be inspected for conformity to official play aids and rejected at organizer discretion. You may want to bring official FFG rulers/tokens as a backup if you plan to use these. You should also have a means of quickly transporting your squadron from one table to another between rounds, such as a tray or bin, as you will be expected to move to a new table each round.


This will be a long event with one short window of opportunity to grab a meal, so you may want to plan to pack a lunch and bring snacks. Pegasus Games does offer soda and snacks and there are carry-out options within the same shopping center.


BEFORE EACH ROUND:

Inspect your opponent’s squad sheet, introduce yourself, and shake hands.


AFTER EACH ROUND:

Thank your opponent for the game, and shake hands. Complete the player section of your scoring sheet, and have your opponent initial. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY OF YOUR OWN SCORE SHEET.

Shameless bump. Still plenty of slots (about 9 or 10 people registered last I checked).

Another clarification: Naturally if there's a lower turnout the schedule above will be truncated somewhat.

4 Seats left! Assuming no no-shows, that means we'll be parting out and raffling a raider, in addition to the standard prize support.

24/24 spots filled, which means full advertised event schedule (3 swiss rounds, 2 elimination rounds for top 4) and Raider component raffle.

Here's hoping for a fun competition next Saturday!

One drop reported on Facebook, leap in that dude's chair like a warrior tomorrow if you want it!

Did you post this on the X-wing Wisconsin facebook or X-wing Madison facebook? I haven't been there in some time but others may check that out and might be worth reporting there. I don't want to get a bye is my motive for suggesting this.

A nice turnout and everyone approached it with a great attitude and I hope had a good time. Thanks to all who attended.
