So how are the rounds at the NOVA open? 2 days with seperate pools? Or two days of swiss. And everyone has to play both days?

2 Heats, can only play in 1. 25 players yesterday and 29 today. Top 2 of each day play on Saturday, as well as the top 6 across both days. Thursday and Friday were 5 round Swiss, Saturday is single elimination.

My AAR for Thursday is up at

First round over today.

Crushed my first Avenger/Sloane/Quasar 520-159.

Offer me Advanced Gunnery at your peril....

Note to self: Motti ISDs are more fragile than they appear.

Especially when you hit them with 15 dice in one activation.

Cactus wins round 1, 7-4.

And for everyone really wanting more updates, this is held on the bottom floor of the hotel and there's practically no reception at all in the large convention room where the games are played. There's no wifi, not even for hotel guests, and I expect connectivity will be even more problematic with more people showing up today and tomorrow.

Got wrecked first round, ended up in last, pulled the bye, now eating lunch with my wife.

Well....I just got jacked by Akbar pickle-point. 9-2.

Time to start climbing the ladder...3 more games.

Great game DeadShane!

I still had a ton of fun getting (and still getting) crushed.

NoVa open armada round 4 heat 2

3rd place is a devastating place to be

Looks like my frequent sparring partners are sitting in 4th and 5th. Go Steve and Dave!

does anyone has the results from the heat 1?

Heat 1 from Thursday:

End of Round 4:

Woof that was a hard loss to Steve. He played excellently, but I made a huge misjudgment on how sharply I could make a turn and he obliterated me for it.

Ended up in 7th place for heat 2, ill get photos up later tonight.

Note that the first place finisher for heat 2 couldn't stay for the final cut tomorrow, so it has been passed to 2nd and 3rd positions.

Top table is a MC80L + Admo vs Avenger + ISD. So about what you'd expect.

Table 2 has a fleet with 6 Hammerheads and 6 Rogues.

Yummy. Mc80l and admo looks awfully familiar.

I'd call it a classic build, myself.

Something very classic about it. :)

I'm really curious to see the rest of the reports come in.

Yay! I wasn't last!

Thanks for the games everyone. I'm sad I made other plans but I have a motor to rebuild today. And tomorrow I have to practice for world finals... in jet ski freestyle.
