Top 8 Finals:

3 rds, Swiss:

1: Daniel Nowak VS Josh Yonovitz
2: Ron Wisner VS Sean Sundberg
3: Jon Kwak VS Greg Whitaker
4: Matt Lalande VS Stephen Mazzeo

@Formynder4 if you're able to get full lists together like you did for Daryle, I'd much appreciate it.

I played Daniel, Kwak and Josh:

Josh is running Cracken on a TFO HH, with 5 TFO ExR HHs and Dash, Han, Corran, Rogue, 3 YT-2400s.
Daniel has Jaina's Light TRC90, Bright Hope with Leia and Comms Net, Quantum Storm with Comms Net, a loaded Ackbar Defiance, and Shara Bey, 3 A-wings, 2 X-wings, and 2 VCXs.
Kwak has a 2 ISD 1 Moff Jerjerrod list. I think he had JJ on Relentless with Leading Shots and Boarding Troopers and a Skilled First Officer, and Avenger with Boarding Troopers, Leading Shots, and XX9s, 2 Gozantis, and Marek Steele, 2 Defenders and Valen Rudor.

That's all I have. And I'm just now realizing that I played 3 top 8 finishers.

A certain mustachioed someone has every fleet list with only the top 8 being withheld until after the final round.

Is the mustachioed someone Zorro? I bet he knows everything.

I'd love to see this fleet in action. I've been on the fence about Cracken Hammerheads, but I'm super glad someone's making them work.

I'm wishing there was a live stream

Can't broadcast anything from the cave they set us up in. I was going to be live updating Table 1 otherwise.

Instead I am heading home.

It was a pleasure to meet you. Safe travels.

Round 3 pairings:

2: Sean Sundberg VS Daniel Nowak
3: Josh Yonovitz VS Greg Whitaker
4: Jon Kwak VS Stephen Mazzeo

Top table is Mc80 Ackbar fleet vs Rieekan aces.

At the start of the final round:

I just made some calculations of the results (because the Infos are so hard to get ).

Round 1:
Daniel Nowak VS Josh Yonovitz - 4-7 (MOV 62)
Ron Wisner VS Sean Sundberg - 5-6
Jon Kwak VS Greg Whitaker - 4-7 (MOV 122)
Matt Lalande VS Stephen Mazzeo - 7-4

Round 2:
Sean Sundberg VS Josh Yonovitz - 7-4
Matt Lalande VS Greg Whitaker - 9-2
Ron Wisner VS Jon Kwak - 10-1 (MOV 361)
Daniel Nowak VS Stephen Mazzeo - 6-5 (MOV 51)

Are these results correct?
Sadly i cannot calculate the missing MOVs.

Here are the final results after 3 rounds of swiss.

Well, good to know I was right in saying Ace Holes weren't going anywhere. I'm curious if he played against a Sloane list at any point.

Tokra already corrected you, but yes, it's a bit over hyped. It's powerful, and really fun to use, but it's not the end all be all that so many have been complaining about. It's telling to me that it's prime target (MC80H) was able to beat it.

This is why Sloane is so great with Avenger. You don't need to be in close range to exhaust the tokens. Well, you need to be if you are using an ISD I, for the damage.

But it seems that Sloane was not really successful at this event.

I think some of those just below the cut were Sloane. Biggs scored 28 and was rocking Sloane.
