Awfully quiet today. I understand since reception in the basement is terrible but I'd appreciate it if someone posted a final day 1b standings at the end so I know if I made the cut.

judging from a post in SF Bay area armada facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10214265972097869&set=pcb.1894949904144286&type=3&theater&ifg=1

Really wish they didn’t charge an entry fee just to go in and watch.

How is the cut working for this tournament?

Top two of each day. Then next top four overall.

Day two is 3 rounds of Swiss.

Ended up being the top 4 from each day anyway :D I look forward to the swiss. Far more elegant and should make for some tense games.

Pics or it didn’t happen

Go hedgehog! Knock 'em dead!

Great news. Good luck for today! Here’s hoping some Bothan spies can keep us updated with intel.

Looking like a great result in the 3 rounds of Swiss final... go Truthiness!

Interesting to see how you are adapting quickly to lessons learned from Swiss. I always learn more from a loss than a win.

Congrats to @Truthiness for the win! He popped me down to 5th! Harrumph!

But overall I'm happy with how it went!

Good job @Truthiness !

As a fellow Steel Strategy writer, I feel like this is all our victory.

But more importantly Natuonal Championship is back in the hands of the USA

Except for @themightyhedgehog . I think he's looking for revenge in tomorrow's Furball.

All Im sayin is.....

Last year I won my first game and got stomped the rest of the day.

This year I almost got top 8.

Next year I dominate....you heard it here first! :D

Speaking of which, I won today's Furball with a small list change and an extraordinarily lucky Demolisher.

I just want that Cr90 I saw pictures of.

Alright guys. I need answers.

Bottom left. What is that?

Congrats on the win, Truthiness! Well done.

Day 2 furball is pretty big with about 16 players to yesterdays 8.

My first round was a 9-2 loss against a double ISD double Raider list. match ended with his Motti forced to ram into a friendly ship to keep from running off the board and surviving with a single hull point due only to pulling a lucky Coolant Discharge crit on my Raider 2. A close, intense game to the very end.

Congratulations, @Truthiness ! You helped made your own prediction come true (about a squadronless list winning either NOVA or GenCon; it was both!)
