Stele Open 2016, Apr 29 - May 1 Manassas, VA

By CDR Stele, in X-Wing Organized Play

Posted at

I host an event in the DC Area called the Stele Open. It's a 3-Day, private event featuring X-Wing, Armada and Imperial Assault. I pride myself on rounding up the best swag and prize support available at ANY X-Wing event in the world. The Stele Open is ALL-INCLUSIVE. That means your registration fee covers your entry in the event AND meals, snacks and unlimited water and soft drinks for the entire time you are there.

Read on and then check out the Stele Open at http://steleopen.com/ and on FB at https://www.facebook.com/steleopen/

JUST FOR SHOWING UP players receive:

A custom Stele Open 2016 T-Shirt
