Hello folks,

What are the Prizes for 2016 Regional Championships?

Surviving countless dogfights is not an easy task. Doing well at an X-Wing Regional Championship is almost just as hard. Each X-Wing Regional Championship will award a variety of exciting prizes meant to reward successful players.

• First Place: The winner of each Regional Championship receives a Regional Champion trophy to show off to family and friends, and one card granting the winner a first-round bye at a country’s National Championship . Any good pilot isn’t just out to win the current dogfight, they’re preparing for the next one. A bye at your National Championship is a big leg up on the competition at the next large event of the year!

We are running a Premier event soon and we wanted to know if the "reward bye of regional champion" should be handled like a bye resulting in one competitor having no opponent for the round (that is with a Margin of victory of 150), or if these "reward bye" should be considered as having a full victory (and therefore a MoV of 200).

Any official answer to this question ?

Regards,

I'm fairly sure that in the regional kit it says to treat regional byes as a super bye, and grant a Win and 200 MoV. The tournament rules don't say anything, but I'm fairly sure the regional kit spells it out.
