Upcoming AMA with (Fantasy Flight Games Global Director of Organized Play) Alex Watkins on the Twitch channel, January 21.
Details here - I will make sure this thread is visible to FFG, so feel free to ask questions here. I know it's a big ask, but try to keep discussion limited (or spawn a new topic) so that everyone's questions stay visible.

I know what I'm most interested in. Any news on the return of Store Championships this year and any info he can give on our chances for getting one of those sweet premium promo kits (maybe even with some rulers that are the right size even? lol).

What’s “the right size?” Core set rulers don’t even have consistency with each other.

That's a fair point, so maybe we try for all the same total lengths so at least our red dice shots are all the same? It's somewhere to start at least.
Q: With Clone Wars on the horizon for Armada, are there any planned previews or OP events along the lines of The Massing at Sullust?
Q: With only 23 US Prime Championships for Armada this year, many players struggled to find an event they were able to reasonably go to. Are there plans to expand the number of Primes in the 2020 season to allow more players the opportunity to participate?
Q: When will restocking commence for Armada? There are actually new players wanting to get in but demand can't grow if supply doesn't..
(and this directly affects tournaments because with smaller player base there is reduced demand for kits and etc..)
Edited by MuelmuelOnly two questions about Armada, answers mainly saying that OP is continuing for Armada, maybe with longer seasons for the seasonal kits with more focus on league play (which I thought we had already) rather than single-day tournaments. Nothing about the lack of Store Championships last year, lack of Primes in some areas.
General answers about the OP re-organisation happening, they hope stuff will be all sorted out and running smoothly by mid-year, with new distributors and so on.
Big thing is a new OP website on the way, with (hopefully) lots of details, calendars and so on, along with the newsletter.
