I just did the online pre-registration and I have a buddy here in Dayton who will also be registering soon. Anyone have any good intel on the likely number of attendees? Three rounds are fun, 4 manageable, anything else is just torture!

There are a **** ton of people going, look forward to your torture

If it gets changed to two days after people prepaid for the event and for hotel reservations based on the advertised understanding it was one day, it is going to reflect pretty poorly on the store. That's about the nicest way I can put that. They're going to have a lot of people who can't swing two days and are going to be pretty upset.

I could easily have missed something, but where did you see it advertised as a one-day event? The Facebook page has said 'The event will be one day unless we get too many.' since 10-21.

I would expect 4 rounds. Even at the Basic Structure, it would be 4 rounds. With them wanting to keep it to 1 day, the Advanced Structure isn't an option unless we're playing Armada until dawn. ;)

I have a feeling we will have into the 40s for players, but I doubt it'll get into 5 rounds. For practical purposes, I don't think any regionals are strictly adhering to the rounds layout because few venues and players seem to want two-day events.

Looking forward to this! Hopefully @comatose, we'll get a rematch after 2(?) years without a game against each other.

I think I missed every tournament in 2017 I could have attended. Trying to change that this year.

I've been a really good lurker of the forums, if thats makes anyone feel better!

We played at the two-day tournament at Family Time Games in February 2016 if memory serves. So yes, two years. But plenty of Armada discussion since then. If we get to play, be prepared for facing not one but TWO Peltas. :)

You always have interesting fleets. I'm curious what you'd do with two peltas.

Worlds 2016 reunion tour! Or bring @moodswing5537, and we can make it the Family Time Games Two-Day Tournament Reunion Regional. ;)

They put out a Facebook update asking people to bring mats, so please bring yours along if you're coming.

They say prepare for 5 rounds, so be ready to be in it for the long haul if you're coming out.

One day, 5 rounds, registration at 10am, dice at 11am.

Add on 6 hours of driving and I'll have a great day.

@CaribbeanNinja you sure you don't want to fly up and help us drive this? lol

Crossing my fingers for favorable matchups to save as much brain power throughout the day as possible. :)

I'll be there in spirit. No RL Armada this Weekend (And there are also two small tourneys in Huntsville and Marietta!) Too many things happening this weekend (non-Armada) :(

My advice: Watch out for @AdmiralYor...
