I am very excited to announce that Memorial Day weekend that there will be a Star Wars Armada Grand Championship at Gigabites Cafe in Marietta Georgia. We are planning on making this a great weekend of Armada with side events on the Sunday for those who do not make the cut. We really hope to see as many of you all as possible.

Fantasy Flight Games and Gigabites cafe are excited to announce the South East Grand Championships for Star Wars Armada on May 23rd and 24th 2020. This will be the opportunity to win the first 4 seats for the 2021 Star Wars Armada World Championship. There will also be a Grand Championship kit available for this event and we look forward to seeing the details when published.

This will be a two day event run at Gigabites Cafe the Premier Gaming store in the Metro Atlanta area.

The event will be organised as follows:

Day 1 will be a 4 round Swiss tournament run using the regular Armada Rules. All players will need to bring a 400 point fleet using the standard fleet construction rules including cards for all upgrades and ships. We will also require all players to bring 3 copies of their fleet lists

At the end of the day we will have a cut of the top 8 players
Day 2 will see the top 8 play in a three round tournament with the scores reset.
For those that do not make the cut we will be organizing 2 further tournaments

1) A 200 point Task Force Battle event using the rules on page 8 or Rebellion in the Rim
2) A 600 point sector fleet tournament using the rules published on the Fantasy Flight Games website.

This event will have a cap of 64 players.

Both days will begin at 9am for registration and round 1 will begin promptly at 10am.

Cost
This event will be $40 in advance covering all tournaments over the weekend. After 5/15 the event will be $50.

We do encourage players to prepay so we can accurately calculate the number of participants.

We do request that any players who have play mats that they can bring with them do so.

Payment

Please pay via Pay Pal ([email protected] with the event name as a note), at the store, over the phone or www.giga-bitescafe.com.

Once you have paid please complete the attached form (https://forms.gle/XjzHvg78BELZtJTj8) so we can accurately keep track of those who have signed up.

One, this is a grand championship so is previous winning required? If so can I just come to free play with people who lose?
Two, are all the slots filled yet?

@CinnaWolf no previous winning required to participate in this event. Just pre register at this time no I do not believe all slots have been filled

With the FFG announcement the South East Grand Championship cannot continue as planned we do plan on reaching out to FFG OP to see if this can be rescheduled.

This was as can be imagined a sad decision but the health of players and their families must come first.

we look forward to seeing you at our future events

Thanks

Jamie
