How do I know what maps are allowed? Will it be posted? Had the game for awhile but really getting into it now.
Question on offical tournaments
The current maps in rotation are Jabba's Palace, Anchorhead Bar and ISB Headquarters. They are respectively from the Jabba villain pack, Obi-wan pack and the Agent Blaise pack.
Thanks, will FFG say what maps are legal? When do they change?
They change every 4 months or so and yes FFG chooses and rotates the official maps for skirmish. The oldest map that will phase out next is ISB Headquarters followed by Anchorhead and then Jabbas last.

Scroll down to tournament resources.
There's a document called tournament regulations.
Itll have everything you need to know. And occasionally they'll update the tourney regs and just read it for any updates and to see the new map selected. Also should check out the FAQ.
a minor note-
there are generally 3 levels of play when it comes to tournaments
If it's a "special" FFG event aka Premier (Store championship, regional etc..) the Store/TO should be following the highest level of expectations
if it's a "Casual" event the TO can set the standard of play expectations (alternative maps...)
and if it's a league or intro event
the expectation is that everyone just has fun and learns the game- competition should not be the primary goal of the event
