Casual league ideas??

By Plainsman, in X-Wing Organized Play

I'm starting a "casual league" at the FLGS in 2-3 weeks and have some questions for ideas on how to run it.

We will have two nights of play each week as schedule conflicts won't allow everyone to make it any single night. But we may see see some overlap of player participation on both nights. We will have 12-20 different players each week. (6-10 per night)

I want to keep things simple as the entire crew is "inexperienced" and the goal is FUN!

I don't want it to become 'highly competitive' and keep the atmosphere 'light!'

Any/all ideas are appreciated!

Thank you!

My local FLGS has run leagues the last two summers. Last year we did eight weeks, with each week's game being different. One week might be a normal 100-point game. The next week might be 100 points, but no large-based ships. Another could be no small-based ships. Or 80 points but no upgrades.

Basically, just change it up so everyone has to do something they may not be used to doing.

We play hero of the Aturi cluster, epic, scenarios. Generally we decide before close of the game day what the session the following week will be. There is a little 100/6 type games but not much.
