For the record Phoenix had 3 Stores submit for a regional and even though we get great attendance including 50 person Store Champs, we were NOT awarded a Regional.
And the Top 8 of New Mexico had 4 Phoenix Players, 1 Tucson, 1 New Mexico, 1 Canada, and 1 more non-New Mexico in Leighton..not sure what his home City is, but he flew in.
Further 9th was New Mexico, 10th was Tucson, and 11th was Phoenix.
Arizona didn't get a Regional, but we traveled well.

Hopefully FFG pays more attention to attendance and population of players. The next Regional AZ players will show up to in force is San Diego, which is already sold out and capped at 130 players I believe.
AZ has an absolutely booming X-Wing scene. It's pretty insane that FFG didn't select any of our very nice, and highly qualified local game stores to host a regional event. Oh well, more road trips for the gang I guess. Maybe they'll get the picture when we bring all the trophies from neighboring states back here and then send them a picture of the pile.
Good times.
Ya AZ and Omaha not getting a Regional spot was pretty baffling. Hopefully next year, since I could probably make it to one in AZ.
