Finally we get detailed info about the events! Looks like each Armada day is 4 rounds with a cut to the final 2 (which we did already know). So a top 4 Elimination will be what is on Saturday.
On a side note, I wish it where a top 4 or 8 cut from each day. It only adds a round or two to the Saturday elimination for a total of 3-4 rounds, but I guess they want a quick final on that morning.
Top 2 for each day is pretty rough, after only 4 rounds.
Looks like another year of gamble-on-good-matchups high-risk fleets.
Btw anyone going interested in trading a rieekan card hit me up.
Wow, that's some high stakes! Do we know how many seats were on offer per flight?

My biggest problem with competitive Armada.
I think that's why a few Regionals have been expanded to a two day format. Durham, NC did that.
Looks to be about 11 hours of gaming, each day. 9 Hours of actual round time, an hour for lunch, and 30-60 minutes for pairings and such.
Also, going by the tournament rules, it looks like FFG is planning on 29-44 people in each day. That'll be double what we had last year!

I had this logic and then realized worlds and Nationals are under the custom tournament. So I threw all that out the window
Like others, not happy about the 2-player cut. It should, and could, have been 4 cuts each day; 8 cuts/day would work too. I really dont know why they wouldn't go with a 8 or 16 man single-elimination Saturday since it starts at 9:30am. 16 for Saturday would be same # of games for the winner (and runner up) as their qualifying day, 4 games. 8 on Saturday would be 3 games, which would be great. Bleh. They need to fix this.
Even stranger, the team tourrney is 2 round swiss. Winner will be the team with two 10-1s.
Is it too late to request a change to 4 players per day making the cut? That would add one round to Saturday's final rounds (2 rounds to 3). Doesn't seem too prohibiting.
I say it would be.
Adding a Round to the Second Day completely destroys their Streaming Schedule as it is made, if nothing else, I guess...
BUT, going forward, this would be a perfect time to suggest it for the World's coming up in May, when there are greater resources to be focused on the Star Wars games, as the other assorted Games are not presented then....
SOme World Cup... No European qualifiers... 
Don't worry. World cup is in January.

Apart from the regionals.... there are a few uk players going including uk nationals champion.

Are you referencing last year? Because the only regionals is in Raleigh this year. I live in Durham and would be very excited for 2 tournaments to go to.

Dont think there is a regional in Essex or Tyneside this year!
