Hi all, in case anyone missed it that is interested in attending, there is an upcoming Prime Championship in Vancouver, B.C. on Saturday and Sunday, January 11th and 12th. It was never listed on FFG's site. See the Facebook post copied here below for details:

Announcing the Vancouver Imperial Assault Prime Championship details!

Craving for a Game is proud to host the Imperial Assault Regional--err, Prime Championship for the 2019-2020 season! Players from all over will gather to compete for top positions to become Vancouver's number one player, with not only a medallion to take home, but also an invitation to the 2020 World Championship! Not to mention all participants have a chance at acrylic promos, alt art cards, and card boxes! Registration is $15 which covers both days, and a day 2 side tournament for those that don't make the cut! Any excess funds over the store's cost for the kit will be provided at random as store-credit prizes to all participants during day 2 (exact details TBD).

(And please note: this is a newbie-friendly official tournament. If you want to come, but aren't sure if you know the rules well enough to participate, then come, have fun! We're a friendly bunch, we don't bite, we promise. This is also a day to have fun, play games, and take home goodies.)

Tournament Rules: This will be a formal event, so we will be using the Advanced Structure for this tournament. We will be following the official tournament regulations, rules reference, and FAQ.

We -will not- be using the IACP house rules for this tournament!

Please note: due to scheduling limitations (the store is located in a mall that -strictly prohibits- the store from staying open late), no matter how many participants we get, we will be playing only four Swiss rounds, and we will only have a top 8 cut. I...don't expect this to be an issue.

Top 32: Gamorrean Guard
Top 8: Plastic Spectre Cell (with errata)
Top 4: Set of 8 green and red activation tokens
Top 2: Trooper card box
Champion: Medallion and invitation to Worlds!
