So I see that at Origins apparently there are Star Wars: Armada National Championships being held there. I had thought there was only one national championship and its at Gencon but it looks like they are held at Origins too. Can anyone confirm that up?

From what I understand, GenCon is now the North American Championship

Wow, that is confusing. So Origins is just the National Championships? I am assuming that a win in either one would give a first round buy in Worlds

That has been stated.

Even Regional Wins give you a Reserved Spot at Worlds, apparently.

I'm just thrilled to be able to make it to a National level tournament! Besides, if I do remotely well, I can probably talk the wife letting me make the trip to Worlds!

Am I reading correctly that Armada Tournament is gonna be on Wed & Thurs the 15th & 16th? I'm looking on my phone and the spreadsheet is formatted funky, hard to tell where things lineup.

Correct, Wednesday, and Thursday. What a great way to open the Con! Win or lose, I can srill have 3 days to blow off steam, and celebrate/drown my sorrows on the Big Bar on 2 between events!

BTW, Make sure and vote for Armada in the Origins Awards!
