An up to date(ish) list of all UK tournaments in 2019.

I will also do a Google search for UK Armada events every week or so.

Dark Sphere's placeholder Facebook event is up as well: Armarda Regionals Placeholder

It's moved to 5 January (from November 2018) and is at their new store in Shepherd's Bush.

[And that spelling is theirs, not mine...]

And tickets for the Dark Sphere Regional are now available.

There’s been a fair few tournaments announced on Facebook this week. It’s like the OP kits just landed

Our next York event will be on Saturday 23rd of February!

Registration at 10am and kick off at 10.30am. Season 3 kit with older stuff thrown in. Extra spot prizes throughout the day!

Not sure if this is worth a thread of its own, but UK Nationals tickets and details are up.

Friday 31 May, starting 8am(!!), NEC Birmingham (Hall 2). 64 tickets available - top cut (if there is one) on Saturday 1 June.

Facebook post / website page announcing it.

Tournament Ticket page.

Reminder: you also need a ticket for the Expo (£13/£23/£30 for 1/2/3 days)! Event page suggests you might not need a ticket for the second day if you make the top cut, but that might be for the Tournament ticket not the Expo ticket.

Don't think I'll be making this one, sadly - probably stuck working.

You'll need a 2 day expo ticket plus an Armada ticket. Regional winners get a reserved seat.

Do people have to book a 2-day expo ticket in advance in case they make top cut?!

Looks like you can get entrance tickets for the Expo on the day, starting at 8am. 2 single-day tickets cost £3 than one two-day ticket, but if you're not planning on staying for the second day and aren't expecting to make the cut, might be safer.

They'll probably be running some side events on the second day - last year it was some Take the Station games, which were quite fun and came with a decent selection of prizes - so getting a 2-day ticket and not making the cut isn't a complete waste. Plus you get to see some of the Expo.

And Asmodee have officially announced the FFG Grand Championships, including Armada.

Armada is 8am-9am registration, first round at 9.15am. Top Cut at 12pm the next day.

Also confirmation that Top 4 get an invite to 2020 Worlds, and if 50 or more people turn up, the winner gets their flight to Worlds paid for. So far 12 of 64 tickets have sold, so we're not that close to getting someone a free flight.

Anyone know if we're getting any more Season 4 kits - do we need to start prodding places into running events again?

Posted at

Firestorm Basingstoke has announced a tournament on the 28th April, 1130am

Posted at

Is there really this dirth of store champs?

Posted at

For Store championships I'm guessing they're waiting for FFG to sort out how they're running the new Organised Play stuff.

As for normal tournaments... I think some places are still waiting for their 2018 Q4 kits, and have given up on Armada until that happens (or the 2019 Season 1 kits turn up).

One more tournament for the list - Entoyment Wargaming in Poole is having a 2018 Q4 event on 19 May: https://www.facebook.com/events/400674417151140/

Dark Sphere as also doing an event on 5 May, looks like a 200-point tournament.

And Magic Madhouse London have announced a tournament 11.30am, Saturday 25 May, 2018 Q4 Kit. Last tournament before nationals! https://www.facebook.com/events/731660467268717/

10 August - Sanctuary Gaming Centre, Nottinghamshire - looks like a 2018 Q4 event. Facebook page, store page.

Apparently the 2019 Q1 kits have been turning up in North America; has anyone seen any sign of them this side of the Atlantic?

Two of Team MEAT (Midlands and East Anglia Tagge META) will be in attendance to this one:

10/08/2019 - Sutton-in-Ashfield, Sanctuary Games, Season 4 Kit. https://www.facebook.com/events/499306017480671/

And another one:

08/09/2019 - Basingstoke, The Gaming Den, 10.30am start, Monthly Event. https://www.facebook.com/events/2263917570564971/

Tickets here. This is a new(ish) place in the middle of Basingstoke. I think it's the high street version of the old Basingstoke place that ran monthly Armada events.

That page has been updated: Beanie Games on 9 February at 10am, Common Ground Games on 11 January at 10am.
