So, I'm phone-posting this...

If you are going to a store championship this weekend, please try to get copies of the lists and finish order, and post them here, or email them to me.

Appreciate all the fine folks who have already done so. There appears to be a correlation between providing results to the data collection project, and performing well at tournaments.

Therefore, if you commit to sending me the lists, you will place higher.

Also, drop by the spreadsheet, and see what people are flying in other areas.

I'm always curious how people obtain all the lists. Do you just ask the TO when the tournament is over to have them? I'll be at the Fayetteville, NC tourney tomorrow so will do what I can.

Either this is Lies and Slander.. Or, once again , being Mr. Statistically Abysmal has smacked me way out of that Curve!

Can confirm, placed second, sent results afterwards.

What do you mean correlation =/= causation?

Yep!

Edinburgh Games Hub on Saturday had 6 folk, a bit of Wave 6 on the table but less than expected!

Here's the rankings and the lists as far as I can remember them

1. Ackbar MC80, 2 Hammerheads, about 10 rogues
2. Vader, Demo, Raider, 3 Arq
3. Motti ISD/VSD/Gozanti, loads of TIES (I think Howlrunner, Mauler, 8 TIES, Dengar, Lambda)
4. Mon Mothma, 1 Hammerhead, 1 GR75, 6(ish) CR90s, Nym and a Y-Wing
5. Motti VSD2, Quasar, Arq, 3 Lambda, 3 Phantoms, 3 Bombers
6. Garm Liberty, Salvation, 2 GR75s, Jan, Nora, 3 Ys, 2 X, 4 Zs

I want to know who thought of bringing Nym and a Ywing as a screen.

We totally forgot to nab lists and pictures for the Hobbytown thing, but I posted my list here.

They weren't there as a screen, they were hiding in RLBs on a GR75. We've been theory-crafting RLBs locally a fair bit so someone finally got them on the table. Sounds like he was enjoying how it went!

I've was playing around with rapid launch bays, and 4 Decimators on Avenger before boarding troopers came out. I never got a target larger than a Pelta and Avenger never had to shoot at the same ship it hit with the Decimators. It's expensive but effective.
