This may bring me back for another season. 19 round games were way too long.

I WAS 17th!

first

Having not played the other seasons, how flexible/often are the games? Based on the 8 games, once per week whenever the timing works out with the opponent? I’m very interested, just concerned I’ll be one of the kicks because of some schedule limitations with the kiddos.

You pick your availability and get put in a division with players that have similar preferred start time. It's not too hard to schedule games if you have a couple open times a week.

Thank you!

I also welcome the change to 15 rounds, I'm even thinking even 12-13 might do it. Some 19 round games used to last well over 2 hours (in 1.0).

Seeing as I last participated in season 4 or so and I've no clue where I was, I opted for the boonies this time around.

Thanks for Vassal and for organizing!

I just downloaded Vassal and created a Slack Account for this. Is there anything like a Discord channel or something to find free games? I might want to try and get a game or two in before the league, just so I know the controls better. I watched the GSP vids on it, but nothing like firsthand experience.

Thanks!

I run my own tournaments on Vassal, one-round-per-week style. Sign-ups for my tournament are open right now as well. I use Discord for organizing my events.

If you just log onto Vassal, there are often people who are LFg, just let them know you are new.

As AlexW pointed out, vassal x-wing server itself is often enough. People with a blue '!' (exclamation mark) besides their names are looking for a game. You can set one on yourself as well.

You can also try to leverage the slack server itsel in channel #random.

First time player here. Thank you for the effort.

How will fixtures be published and how do you correspond with your opponent on a date/time to play?

So nothing up yet? I did check those 2, the season is starting today, so was just wondering. Maybe I am just a bit too eager and jumping the gun here.

The lists aren't seeded yet. @Antigrapist is on it. There are many cases to cover (returning players, qualifying players, downgrading players, vacant spots, late joiners, etc.)

The season will be pushed a few days to accomodate for delays.

Also, all y'all must wait for the next module release 8.7.0

VERY SOON NOW

All efforts are appreciated!

Module 8.7.1 is out now (just follow the alt download in the popup as vassal loads)

The seeds for tier 1 and 2 are out already for season 8, other seeds following soon https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yDeV9na4Q6n5hhgjUTOcOW3CtD2TuaWGos181jHNjV8/edit?usp=sharing
