Now that's some serious commitment, right there!
The UK System Open Is Underway!
This time next week folks... 508 players descending on the NEC Hilton.
Will there be any coverage of the tournament. I am thinking of going for the first time next year so would like to see as much of it as I can.
First Earth usually stream on twitch and YouTube but I don’t know for sure he’s there.

That would be a shame.
I'll be there, along with at least 15 186th squadron squadmates 
The Swansea Hammerheads will be there too. At least 8 of us are coming for some epic space battles.
We're into the three day countdown.
Finalised your squads? Printed off your lists? Washed your lucky pants?

That's the secret, isn't it? Never wash your lucky pants! 
The secret is to realise that all pants are lucky.

And all pants are unlucky. Pah to superstition! I lose regardless of pants! (If I were allowed to bring my son to roll dice for me, I'd win more often though...)
By quantity of participants, is 508 the biggest X-Wing tournament ever? That's a basically a Legion ™ of players!

Yes, I believe so. Next most is the previous Europeans with 400+
Sadly, UK is too expansive for my broken student life so I won't be there.
But we are organizing a watching party on Sunday!
Need to print lists. Thanks for the reminder!
