Up in the North we organized an Objective Format X Wing League that uses the objectives created by the podcast community. Players (18) are grouped into 2 pools and are assigned an objective (sometimes they must do random) and compete in a round robin format. The Top 4 from each pool carry on to playoffs.
A few added rules:
1. A unique pilot can only be flown once in the preliminary rounds ;
2. Two or more generic pilots of the same ship can only be flown together once in the preliminary rounds; and
3. All proxies allowed.
This format has created interesting list building and strategies. Players have to think of the objective, which remaining pilots will perform best, which have pilots has their opponent used, what are the tendencies of their opponent, etc.
Our community is excited about it and I encourage other communities to give something similar a try. I would like to thank Gold Squadron, Krayts and Mynocks and whoever else is involved for providing additional enjoyment to the game. I would like to thank Ryan Farmer for creating the objective cards (we professionally printed the objectives onto sets of cards to hand out to the players, they look great) as well.
Cheers
