500 point Epic Tournament!

By Roller of blanks, in X-Wing

Looking for a casual epic tournament with full prize support? Simply set your coordinates for the Funknova System!

The tournament will be held on TTS, so don't worry if you don't have a huge ship.

Starting February 14 EST (Earth Standard Time) Fleets from across the galaxy will meet to fight for the control of Funknova Prime! The hyperspace lanes are large enough for to bring 500 points worth of ships, but you'll only have 2 hours & 30 minutes to defeat your enemies!

So, Patrol Leaders! If you wish to claim the system for your faction (or yourself) simply go here: https://benhenryroberts25.wixsite.com/mysite

If you're a calculating leader who needs more intel before you commit to a battle, you can find valuable information here:

Feb 14 is a long ways off...

My thought, as well. But it give some time to consider actually doing it. Also, you don't need to worry about all of the Galaxies stuff going on right now. The Epic Tourney that recently happened I opted out of because I was gong to be playing in all the Galaxies tourneys.

I love playing Epic. However, I cannot commit to playing multiple rounds in the same day in an awkward time zone.

Particularly not on Feb 14. Some of us have a spouse who would be seriously aggrieved if Feb 14 were to be booked up.

It's one round each week.

Also, the time zone was a joke ( because it's star wars, so there's like, other planet time zones)

I think you really need to present your events with all the important information upfront.

Rules. How many huge ships? How many non-huge? The best rules I've played at 500pts restricted the number of non-huges to a max of 8 per huge ship, with no limit apart from the 500 on the huge.

1 game per week is much more doable than multiple in one day, or even over a weekend.

Is there an entry fee? Is it restricted to any particular time zone? Could it have separate Euro/US/Aus/etc conferences to help with the scheduling issues?

Why is epic down to 2.5× regular from 3×regular in 1.0?
