Yes, there are changes.
Just wanted to say thanks, found them but they were hidden away.
New "Tournament Regulations" Document
funny a day later and I still can only download the original....I keep hitting refresh and still no v1.02.
Asmodee/FFG Big
Armada Team: "Yeah we need them occupied. Wave Three's big Surprise is Jar Jar as a Rebel Commander. I think that might get ugly..."
Jar jar as admiral 38 points when you ships ramms a enemy ship the enemy take an extra dmg card if tou say escuse me. Friendly ships that ram gain a shield and take no dmg
Clearly this set of egregious typos and mistakes, paired with the fact that Wave 3 has not been announced yet, means that FFG is not just cancelling Armada, but will also be sending people to travel to the homes of every single Armada purchaser in order to personally destroy their ships with their fists, feet, and harsh words.
They can have my armada when they take it from my cold dead hands
The new tiebreakers and event formatting go a long way to improving Armada as a competitive game, particularly when it comes to larger events like Nationals, Worlds, and even some Regionals.
Head to Head should always be the first tiebreaker. There is no better way to sort two players with otherwise equal scores, then by who won if they played each other.
Having some manner of single elimination final rounds is also incredibly important. It was farcical to think it was appropriate at say Worlds to just run 5 rounds of Swiss and them determine a "World Champion". If attendance was 128 or more you'd have 4 undefeated players after 5 rounds, and no gaureentee that they weren't tied on points. You can't declare a legitimate event winner in those circumstances. With this change FFG is avoiding the chance to have a really embarrassing and unfair National or World Championship result.

I was actually pondering Jar Jar as a negative points card.

Version 103
Now with Red-Text Corrections.
Also, this was on Page 4, due to Wave 3 Threads... Took me a while to find the post.
Glad they fixed all the nonsense.
Indeed.
And of course, the One-tool Rule is back... And the viability of a finger is just as nebulous as it was before, so... I guess our discussion point in Rules is still active.
all the wave 3 belly aching and this was the real reason to be mad. The original version of this document was an embarrassment. Now the have fixed it, so good job there but that original..... Man if anything deserved an apology it was that.
At last our long international nightmare is over.
Nice to see it fixed so quickly!

Well, the wording is the same as the previous Tournament rules-document, and we still have the email from FFG saying that a finger is allowed, so I would say it's perfectly fine until they say anything else.
