Welcome back to the tenth season of the X-Wing vassal league!

FAQ / Overview

You’ll be placed in a division with roughly 8-10 other players from roughly the same time zone. Over the course of ten weeks, you’ll have to schedule and play eight games of X-Wing through Vassal, a free online board game platform. We use the Vassal League Slack to coordinate games and provide announcements.

Everyone starts in tier 4 and if you finish in the top 2 spots in your division, you’ll be guaranteed a promotion to the next highest tier. The bottom 2 players in each Tier 2 and 3 division (bottom 6 in Tier 1) will be demoted downwards. However, depending on the number of participants, extra people will be promoted and avoid demotion to fill out higher tier divisions.

About halfway through the season, you’ll be allowed to play with people from the same tier but a different division, so that everyone has the chance to play the full eight games.

Format

The league will continue to play primarily Hyperspace format. If both you and your opponent agree, you can play extended games but this is entirely optional.

Check out #leaguehelp for a discussion on the game length requirements, I want to try and find a middle ground between 60+2 and 15 rounds, our previous formats. I’ll edit the doc and post in #general with the final requirements on or before the start of the season.
