The reason
2 Years ago we lost our dear friend Nathan Ellis to an aggressive Brain Tumour.
In his memory and to raise money for the Brain Tumour Charity, myself and two others (and a few able assistants) are organising an X Wing Miniatures Tournament.
Nathan was one of the most kind, selfless and supportive person. He was always willing to help, even in his darkest of times. He was truly our very own Super Hero.
This event is giving us the opportunity to repay the kindness and support that Nathan gave all of us.
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, were moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour.We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And were doing it right now. Because we understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait.
The Event
The Kamion Open is a X-Wing event in support of the brain tumour charity.

The event is being held at a Scout Headquarters in Gillingham, Kent, UK and all money raised from the tickets is going to the Charity above.

This event is expected to be 5, 75 minute rounds; using the Swiss-style pairing system and with no cut. If we do not reach the recommended amount of people for a 5 round tournament, we will instead run 4 rounds.
Each player is required to hand in a copy of their squad list to the TO at sign in. Squads must contain no more than 200 squad points and conform to all of the rules laid down in the core rulebook and tournament rules PDF. Rulings from the unofficial rules document will also be in effect at this event. The relevant information can be found in the links below.

***TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE***
We plan on running five rounds of Swiss, but with a difference! During the lunch break after the second round, we will be splitting the tournament based on bracket. Any player who has not won a game will be paired into a new bracket, containing 3 objective-based games with more prizes on offer. Players will still use their 200 point squad that they registered at the beginning of the day, so there will be no need to bring a second squad.
******************
PRIZE SUPPORT
Each player will receive an official FFG Alt Art Cartel Spacer as a participation prize. The winner of each pod will receive an official FFG Poe Dameron Alt Art and the overall winher will recieve an offacial FFG Alt Art Rebel Lando Calrisian in the YT-1300.
More TBC
