I couldn't help but notice that the North American Championships started on Thursday. I haven't come across any results, so I'm hoping some kind soul on this forum has some information to share with the rest of us.

Surely they would have done a top cut on Friday to close the whole thing out?

They did a top cut Thursday and played the last last night. My friend @Brigadierblu made the top 16, but lost in the first round to Brian, who won last year. Sadly, there were only 43 players, but some really good ones.

I would really like to know how the rest of it played out and what percentage of the top 16 was for each faction.

Anyone care to share?

All I have been able to gather is that the top 4 comprised of 3 Mercs and 1 Rebel and Brian came in second with Mercs (ugnaughts). Desmond Miller is in that list at 4th I believe, also with mercs (euro championship list)

Bits of Information is being slow dripped here:

Here's what i have been able to piece together so far. Anyone able to confirm? Fill in the gaps?

1. Patrick Christians - Mercenary - 6 Ugnaughts, Onar, and IG.

2. Brian Vandergalien - Mercenary - Onar, Elite Weequay, Jabba with Indentured Servant, Greedo, Elite Jawa, BT-1 with Prey on the Weak, Chopper with Headhunter, C-3PO

3. Spencer Albert - Rebel List - Jedi Luke, eRangers, Hera, Gideon, C-3PO, R2-D2, and rSmuggler with RHC.

4. Desmond Miller - Mercenary - 2x eWeequay, Vinto, eJawa, BT, C-3PO, Hera, Gideon, Temporary Alliance, Black Market, and Devious Scheme

I can confirm that list. Brian is an excellent player and won handily against me in the first round after the top 16 cut.

I was disappointed that we only had 43 people this year when we had well more than that last year. However, I had a blast playing and hope my single ugnaught didn't cause too many hurt feelings. The junk droid was pretty much only there to contest/claim objectives/terminals ?

How many players was there last year?

I think close to 100, maybe in the 80s.

You are dead to me ?. Get that junk droid outta here!

The rebel list was Spencer Albert, he was playing Jedi Luke, eRangers, Hera, Gideon, 3P0, R2, and rSmuggler with RHC.

Is Spencer Albert the all-knowing @a1bert? Congrats for repping Rebels, either way!

I don't believe so.

Could the fact that Nationals are about 2 weeks away have had an affect on attendance this year? I couldn't make Gencon and can't make Nova, but scheduling time off work to travel and the expense meant that I would have only chosen 1 if I could have attended at all.

Is this proximity in scheduling due to the changes implemented by FFG when they split the various Organized Play games across two tracks?

I was 13th with Terro, 2x eJets, Blaise, BT, 000, Cross Training, Rule By Fear, and Zillo. I lost to Desmond in top 16.

IA tournaments are a blast, shame the only ones I can seem to make are Worlds and Gencon

@ryanjamal I was at GenCon but not playing. I was watching the IA games and chatting a bit with Todd Michlitsch.

It was nice to see a good spread of different lists.

I dig the list. What was your plan for the games?

Not lose? Generally with agile and Zillo I can weather the storm of ranger/wequay shooting enough to close in and start dropping things. Focusing on objectives made a big difference since I can't wipe things out while sitting in my deployment zone.

Hey Chum, I like that list too. Can you post the command cards? Imps are so dead in my area that I'll try anything new!
