The Ottawa regional's results are now up.

The streamed games (except for the first round of cuts) are up too. If you hate parattani for some reason skip the last 4, there's 5 of them and another Asajj list

And yeah, I know boosting with Fenn in the final was ballsy and did not pay off, but it seemed like a good idea at the time (a barrel roll would've been smarter)

Lol looking through the Ottawa lists someone got 3 wins with Dormits & 3 OGPs. That would be a hilarious start to the game. A wall of 3 sea cows backed by an Upsilon. Props to Jackie Luong.

Led to a weird final salvo in one match. Marshal wasn't sure how to score MOV on a final salvo when two players don't kill anything before time runs out.

I think a win on a tied final salvo is 101-99 but don't quote me on that.

Points destroyed is 0, so isn't it just 0-0?

No because MoV is points destroyed+points preserved. So 100-100 makes the most sense, but maybe it is 101-99 just so one side having the win isn't confusing(er).

It is points destroyed for each of the Final Salvo players with the winner of the salvo getting the 1 tournament point for the win.

For Example: Each destroys 50 points at time. Each gets 50 points mov. Winner of the salvo gets the 1 tournament point.

As of Worlds 2015, FFG's software was incapable of telling who wins if the game is 100-100. It would treat it as a draw. The first time this mattered was with the Hounds Tooth title: if the Hound's Tooth Z-95 was the only thing left, then that player has clearly won, but both sides could have destroyed 100 points. Hence the addition of the 101-99 rule. Now it is actually a fairly common occurrence with Final Salvos, but I have no idea if their software has been updated, or how it handles this scenario. Cryodex can handle a 100-100 win, so we always just use that because it's better than FFG's software.

wasnt the initiative bid used as a way to break ties at one time?

Yes, before they had intentional draws. I think they used the 101/99 rule for that as well at the time in Worlds 2015, although I can't remember for certain, and don't feel like digging through all the tournament rule archives to find out for sure. But I think that's actually the way it would have been in 2015.

i had a draw in round 1 of a tournament game yesterday. we flipped a coin

You can't have a draw in a tournament game of x-wing it goes to final salvo.

final salvo?

i know u need to break the draw but a coin flip? why not first damage or initiative or most damage dealt or something other than a coin flip?

Final salvo is both players adding their remaining red dice (or the entire list if they drew by simultaneous killing) and having the one with more hits/crits win.

Check out the tournament rules. It's outlined there.

ok so that sounds better than a coin flip for sure. so just the red dice of your last attack? or all red dice useable by your entire list?

i like final salvo rules. ill suggest we start using that in our local group from now

Tome let's you put points destroyed at 0 for each. There's a box you click to designate the winner.

Vegas regionals final:

Jill McGlinchey flying Commonwealth Defenders

vs

Keith Graves flying Rebels

Miranda w/ HM, EM, ABT, C3PO, GC

Jan Ors w/ VI, TLT, Nien Nunb

Cracken w/ VI, HM, GC

And Keith takes it, 100-0! Jan and Miranda boost Miranda to a 6 shot Homing Missile, after cracken and Jans TLTs. Erased Ryad instantly. And at range 1, Miranda gets 4 dice autoblaster turret. Ouch.

That's a great list, so happy to see it win. Tough to watch that stream with defenders just everywhere.

This is Keith Graves. Had a blast flying Overclocked Miranda.

In February, I won the LVO (Las Vegas Open) and the Vegas Regional with this. I came up with something that I felt could do well against Common Wealth defender, trip defenders and Paratanni.

It's still not easy against those list, but this gives you a chance.
