Round 1 beings now.

You should IMMEDIATELY get in touch with your opponent (see below) and schedule a time.

When a match has been scheduled, post the date/time here. That way people have a chance to watch and the mentors might pop in to help out too!

You have until the end of Friday 31st March to complete your matches.

After a match is completed, post the results here, using the following format:

Green Knight (1st player) vs Ginkapo: 10-1 (MoV 400)

We played his Fire Lanes. Then add as much description and images as you'd like.

MATCHUPS (ROUND 1)

RULES

3 rounds Swiss: This means everyone plays 3 matches. The first match you are randomly assigned. The next two matches you are assigned to the opponent that most closely matches you in tournament points and margin of victory (MoV). The player with the most points after 3 rounds wins!

Scoring: Standard scoring from the tourney regs. Meaning you can get as many as 10 points or as little as 1 point per match. MoV is used as a tie-breaker.

Conceding: If a player concedes, his opponent scores a win (8 tournament points and 140 MoV). If, however, the winner would score more as calculated from the end state, he scores that number of tournament points and MoV.

No show: If a player fails to log on for a scheduled match his opponent receives the the win (8 tournament points and 140 MoV).

Failure to schedule: If players are unable to schedule a game they both receive a loss (0 tournament points and 0 MoV). If it's clearly the fault of one of the players it counts as a no show instead.

Extension: If you cannot complete a game within the period allotted to a round, contact the TO (Green Knight). We should be able to work something out unless the delay is too large. If you fail to contact the TO this counts as failure to schedule.

Saving and resuming: If a match cannot be completed in one sitting, it's OK to save and resume at a later date IF BOTH PLAYERS AGREE. If they can't agree, one player must concede. It is therefore a good idea to establish for how long both parties can play before starting the match. This rule also applies if one player suddenly has a RL interruption and must leave.

Slow play: Hard to adjudicate on Vassal, especially with freshman players. Just try your best to keep the game moving forward and you'll be good!

Also reserved.

Mentor ppl: feel free to step forward!

I'm claiming Cactus and BMH as British for this. Saves me from acknowledging Nobody....

G'wan you guys. I'll pop on for your matches where I can to aid with vassal use. And feel free to pm me for advise.

I cant advise during matches as its against tourney rules.

My match with @bmhuhman was enxtented to today

We sit at the moment at the beginning of Round 3, his Demolisher (now space debris) regretted engaging Motti's ISD II, but its escort are making sure to finish the job done by a destructive ATP. During this, Avenger is attempting to defend the two unarmed stations from 2 Gozantis and the fighter screen, with now the Jumpmaster 5000 having taken care of already one of the aggressor TIE Interceptors with the help of a TIE Defender, while Tempest squadron with it's slow engines tries to catch up on the speed 5 squadrons

Keep up the good work gents!

Once again match with @bmhuhman extended to monday.

Motti is now dead against the two VSDs traitors to the Empire, Avenger destroyed one of the defecator Gozantis and follows towards the second, same direction to the VSDs, while the stations remain untact thanks to the hard work of the true Empire soldiers

@Plagueis Vs @PodRacer

Win to Plag 203 to 28

will write a report sometime.. but for now sleep

Good work - hope you're also having a lot of fun

i should note that the score of my game was not very representative. the ISD was basicaly saved by 2 well-timed engineering commands, and rocc79 managed, through careful piloting, to constantly escape its front arc with all but 3 of his ships, making it harder for me. its just that, as easy as it is to ram, MSU can be so difficult to fly/time well to use their guns in a coordinated way.

After an epic almost 6 hours, mostly due to my use of vassel and over thinking.

@Tokra vs @anothermorat

63 to 81. One kitten to 3 gozanti.

So a 19 mov win for me (6-5). We played my close range scan. It was a cagey games at times and I have to admit I got some stupidly luck dice rolls.

In the cross channel games, Team GB are 2 games up.....

It gets quicker Morat. Much quicker.
