Updated prizes.

So we had 13 people attend last night ... and I know of 7-8 local semi-regulars that were not there. The community is growing!

Wave kit events will continue -- 11 JAN will be Hyperspace format, and we'll be alternating format weeks therefter (1st & 3rd Fridays of the month Extended, 2d and 4th Fridays Hyperspace). Games won will be recorded for Wave Leader prizes -- so the more events you come to the more progress you make in the Wave Leader standings!

We will continue to follow the prize distribution above for each event, assuming at least four people attend to fire the event.

Have these events concluded, or are they still ongoing?

The Wave 1 series of Kit nights did complete, but there is still Xwing going on every Friday night at Eternal Games. From now until after Adepticon, it will just be free play nights where there's no buy in and no prize support. With Wave 3 and Adepticon coming up, figured we'd take an organized break from specific format and kit nights before we started up the Wave 2 Series which will start likely April 5th. Just allow people to play whatever they want for a couple of weeks without any prizes or rankings at stake.
