In principle, I'd like to take part.

In practice, a few more details that aren't on a video would be useful.

Like the rules (how many points can/must be spent on huge ships? Are there any chassis limits or will spamming a ridiculous number of vulture droids be allowed?) and starting date.

Which time zone are most of the participants likely to be in? It's hard to get 2 people from opposite sides of the world to agree on a time to play, let alone 4.

Will it be Vassal or TTS?

How can you play on a 6x3 table in tts?

I thought it was 3x3 only!

Having finally had time to watch the two (thankfully short) trailers, the only extra info is: start July 6th, and using TTS.

There is no indication of how to express an interest, sign up, or otherwise join the event. There are a couple of links on your site to join the 'community' and a 'league' but are either of these part of the event?

@Gilarius

The "community" is the discord for the tournament, with full tournament details

The "League" is where you can purchase entry

When I get the chance, I'll change the names to something clearer

Here's what it says in tournament info:

First of all, I'd like to welcome you to the Funknova System! I'm sure you'll have a great time here. Please make sure you check the tournament's listbuilding restrictions below. : )

At the start of the tournament, you will pair up with another participant, and you will both bring a 400 point epic squad. You may include huge ships, wings, and epic upgrades. You can message @FunkMaster_Flex if you want to be paired with a specific teammate, but if you signed up on your own, you can be assigned a random partner.

Round pairings will be up on July 6 at 8:00 AM central time on TTT, after that, you have the rest of the week to play your round.

Each game has a timer of three hours and thirty minutes, however, you probably won't need that long.

Listbuilding:

400 points per player

You may only bring 6 ships of the same type, unless the ship's lowest cost is 29 points or lower, in which case you may bring a maxium of 12.

You must include at least 1 huge ship in your squad (unless you are playing as the Galactic Republic with a "Bad Guy" teammate, in which case you do not have access to the CR-90, since it is not legal for that group)

You will probably want to brainstorm your fleet with your teammate, since it is Illegal to have duplicate unique pilots/upgrades. You and your teammate must bring either the same faction or "corresponding" factions. (Side note: While the Galactic Republic faction is split across different groups, if both players on a team are playing as the Galactic Republic, they may use any ships in the faction)

Corresponding factions/ships list:

Good Guys:

Rebels

Resistance

All republic force users excluding Anakin Skywalker as a Y-wing pilot and Delta-7 pilot

Republic judiciary

Naboo N-1 starfighter

R2-D2 as a Y-wing pilot.

Bad guys:

Empire

First Order

V-19 Torrent

Arc-170 (republic)

Y-wing excluding R2-D2 pilot

Anakin Skywalker as a Delta 7 pilot and as a Y-wing pilot

Morally Ambiguous Guys

Separatists

Scum and Villainy

Tried it out, just made TTS even better a purchase.

Great to hear!

Will you be at the tourney?
