14 and 15th of May

Usually regional championships in France are not held in stores (I don't know of any with enough space), but by gaming clubs/ independant TOs who provide the venues. Here it was held at the Amiens Youth Hostel and organised by the Cercle des Immortels d'Amiens gaming club. The TOs usually partner with a local shop (or several) for prizes.

The regionals here are usually called by the city name (here Amiens).

The next regionals are:

Bourgoin Jaillieu 21st of May

Orleans 5th of June

Toulouse 11th of June

Paris 18th of June

Nantes 9th of July

I "Joe Castiglione" made top 4 at Greenfield Regional running the following:

The BroBots list was Carson Wray.

The five ship Rebel list was Joe Top (Biggs, 2x Blue Squadron, 2x Tala)

Oh Fat Han was with us a long time, but the escort was changed from 3 Z-95s to a single strong ship pretty quickly if I recall correctly, creating a Fat Han+ archetype.

That was, and still is, based purely on local meta. Both saw play, and the 3Zs still do.

I can see at some point ffg making a squadron card.

Something like 1pt all ship of the same types with this title are part of the squadron. A ship may forgo it's next shooting atk to give 1atk die to another ship with this title.

So 6 tie/Ln, howl runner w stealth device, 6 of the above titles for 100pts.

This gives you 3x 3atk ships with reroll from howl runner and howls own 2atk.

The reason I like this title is it only improves low cost mostly generic 2 atk ships such as Zs, tie/Ln, sycks, Chardon refit awings, generic tie bombers, genetic tie adv prototype, tie/fo, etc. pretty much every ship that can use a buff is fixed by the above title without buffing up an already competitive ship.

Greenfield was a Top 8 cut right?

Nathan would have beaten #5 as #4 lost in the 1st round of the cut by one lousy die...

I don't know if it was that early. The jury is very much still out. Alot of folks are saying it was round 1, but I know of at least 4 that think it was around round 4. Anyway, this doesn't need to be a thing...it's too late to do anything now anyway.

How many byes were used at greenfield?

From what I have seen second hand according to the instructions that come with the Regional kit, when determining the total player count for cut purposes, each 2 byes count as as one additional player for determining round and cut purposes, rounding up. NY also did a Top 8 cut that should have been a Top 16 according to the FFG instructions.

Part of the problem is that the tournament document doesn't reflect this, it's only in the kit instructions. It's water under the bridge, but there was a 5-1 player that missed the cut in NY as a result.

I was 3-4 at the Broomfield, CO regional, it was between the list I played and a triple jump master list and I picked RAC/Whisper because I have a lot more fun playing it even though I hadn't played it in at least a month.

RAC

Gunner

Whisper

FCS

Advanced Cloaking Device

Yep if anyone was watching I was the one who put Whisper on a rock at the end of the game. It was my first big tournament and I wasn't expecting to get top anything so I don't think I was prepared mentally or physically. I was exhausted by the end, and made several major mistakes in the final game. I think what really helped me was seeing 3 Palp Aces (shuttle) and 1 Palp Decimator with Whisper in Swiss, my dice also went lights out against a Chewie, 2xTLT Y-wing list in round 5. Going into the last round of Swiss I was 12 and two Palp Aces were 2 and 3 and I matched up against 3 and was able to make it to 7. Which then had me play the Palp Aces that stayed at 2 after the cut.

I'm not sure exactly what I said after the game, I think it was mostly me calling myself stupid, but if I didn't thank Evan he was great. I don't get to play much and it was fun competing with people at the tournament. I played more that day than I have in the last 3 months probably.

The announcement was in the player meeting before round one pairings. I remember the collective groan quite clearly.

How many byes were used at greenfield?

From what I have seen second hand according to the instructions that come with the Regional kit, when determining the total player count for cut purposes, each 2 byes count as as one additional player for determining round and cut purposes, rounding up. NY also did a Top 8 cut that should have been a Top 16 according to the FFG instructions.

Part of the problem is that the tournament document doesn't reflect this, it's only in the kit instructions. It's water under the bridge, but there was a 5-1 player that missed the cut in NY as a result.

they took the byes into account when determining the cut to 8. even with the byes the number still did not hit the ffg number for top 16

Those Palob builds are EXTREMELY annoying for Aces. I've never flown against Palob before a Vassal game this weekend, and it did not end well for me.

I think the problem was it was announced at a cut to top 16 at the start because they had 77 players but then changed their mind as players started to drop and made it top 8.

There were only 74 players registered at start.

Actually, they didn't. I didn't realize that this was a rule, but 10 players used byes.

The "problem" was that there was an accident on the highway, so they were expecting players to show up late (they even delayed the start time). When they went over the tourney stuff (during the "player meeting") they had >80 people registered and paid to play, so they announced 6 rounds, cut to top 16.

However, 8 of those players didn't show, dropping us down to somewhere between 70 and 75 players (I know for a fact at least 70 because there were 35 tables playing at Round 3). If you take the 70 and add 10 for the byes, then we'd be at "80 players" for the cut purposes.

But as a closing note, I'm not sure why anyone's upset about how that was all handled. As it was, every single 5-1 player made it, no 4-2 players made it, ID's where held to a minimum (only the two 5-0 players took an ID the last round). This sounds like it worked perfectly. And this is coming from someone who finished in the 9-16 range and would have loved to have played the following day.

I'm not sure where you're getting your facts, but someone in our facebook group posted it at 11:22, right around when the first round started, and it was mentioned it was because of no-shows and not drops, so it sounds like the TO did things right.

It was announced right before round one started but most people did not here it... he stated again after round one as well... 100% sure on this as to I was right there by him.
