The more I think of this, the more I continue to be torn.

On one hand, you have to buy into a convention, which means convention pricing for hotels nearby, a fee for the convention itself, and FFG NOT ANNOUNCING IT SO WE HAVE TO DISCOVER IT OURSELVES.

On the other hand, maybe this means Armada gets treated like a legitimate game, and not "we are gonna shove you into the hotel ballroom with... uh... Destiny Side Games I guess?".

Jimmy! Get on the forums and tell us everything will be okay!

They'll post something any day now! Any day!

Thanks Jimmy.

Looks to me the evidence that regionals end earlier this year looks like we will see worlds at adepticon. Good luck to those attending.

Well, I wasn't going anyway. Perhaps in 2020 (if I start planning it now...). I hope earlier date wouldn't affect your plans @Lightrock? @Ginkapo, are you going to Worlds?

Here’s the other thing:

Tickets for this “Worlds” go on sale THIS SUNDAY with not an official peep on the subject...

.. that’s worrisome, don’t you think?

Probably not tbh. But this is slightly more enticing than the Walmart tourist destination.

Extremely. I'm also curious if any other Nationals and above winners have been contacted about travel or tickets for the event. I have not and my email to OP has had no response.

I have not

Nationals winners only receive reserve tickets, no transport or hotel. That's what they have told me anyways.

I didn't get a definitive answer on travel, but that was my assumption. That still leaves tickets in question.

I have a definitive answer. No travel for the Canadian National Champion.

Fixed my glaring typos. Tickets is the open question.

We get reserve ticket - still have to pay for them.

I won’t be going, but I hope they still stream at least the final! Even though the comentators are poor, it gives me something to do while washing dishes.

In March? Nah, it'll be cool but you can likely get away with a hoodie and some decent pants.

I've got the hoodie covered, but I refuse to buy decent pants.....

End of March in Chicago could be 60F with sunny skies or 25F with an ice storm. In fact, both could happen that weekend.

Why not just wear tearaway pants? And rip THOSE in half?

Top4 North American/European champs get a free ticket:

Quote

Given the numerous challenges awaiting them at the European and North American Championships, there can be little doubt that the Top 4 fleet admirals will all be due for promotions—and we'll hope to see them all competing for the game's top honors at the 2019 Star Wars: Armada World Championships!

For their efforts, each of these aces will earn a free event ticket for the 2019 Star Wars: Armada World Championships.

I have not been contacted by FFG OP either. I am currently planning on purchasing a ticket and hoping something gets sorted out later. Worst case, I'll have a ticket to Adepticon AND World's, which wouldn't bother me too much.

It's legit

I feel like this should have been an article... A week ago! Not a last minute, on the way to the bar Friday evening tweet!
