New Player, Returning Player, and Player who does not play often Tournament

October 3rd starting a 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time there will be a 2 round online tournament on the TTS Discord.

There has been a lot of excitement with Armada with the Clone Wars announcement. This tournament is designed for new or inexperienced players to get their feet wet with BOTH Armada and TTS. Please use your judgment.

2 rounds standard swiss. 15 minute break between rounds.

To sign-up, show up 30 minutes before the games start. Go to the Tournament chat on the TTS discord and ping me to let me know you are playing. Please send me your list in advance to i can review it and save it.

Standard Tournament rules and current points costs. We will be doing new Squadron rules and 28 point leia. That means you are limited to 4 token aces.

RANDOM PRIZE DRAWING

That is right, there will be a prize for one random person who completes all games. It does not matter what place you come in, just that you complete all games.

Here is the prize: 4 of Admiral Tater's newest product, Squadron Washers of Bossk, Vader, Luke, and Lando. I will ship this to you.

That is a GREAT idea.

I'd definitely be in if the timing were more "euro-friendly".

I certainly understand the time zone issues.

Is it Eastern Standard or Daylight time? It does make a difference!

Alright, so I am changing the time to 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time. Hopefully this should encourage our Euro friends to play.

thanks

Are you sure? A time zone comparison says it's 4pm... Daylight savings can be very confusing!

I would like to join. what should i prepare?
what is 28 point leia please?

Posted at

“Admiral” Leia originally cost 38 points and is considered over priced. The new card coming out this Q4 in a Clone Wars upgrade pack is adjusted to 28 points.

Send me your list ahead of time, and please spread the word to newer players.

im a newer player. what are the rules? how many points? :)

Great, this tournament is exactly for newer players. The tournament will be 400 points with all standard FFG tournament rules. Played on TTS. The only changes to the current rules are that we will play with the new 4 token ace limit and a 28 point Leia commander.

Standart Tournament rules is just 400 FP, 134 FP-max for squadrons, and everything you learned in the How-to-play- or Rules-Reference-booklets. So, yes, you need three objectives, 1 for each color.

Squadrons are very powerfull. Armada is about capital ships fighting each other. The squadron cap keeps the game centered around its meant pupose.

Another Tournamental rule: Only up to 2 flotillas per 400-FP-fleet. If you lose all non-flotilla ships, you lose the game this instant.

As a reminder, please send me your list before the tournament so I can make sure it is legal for this tournament.

How do you want them sent?

I would prefer they be messaged to me on the TTS discord (to make sure everyone is on it before the tournament). Alternatively, you can send a message to me on this website.

For the record, pretty sure we are in Eastern Daylight Time right now, EST is during the winter months (stupid daylight savings). EDT is UTC-04:00. 1100 in the eastern US right now is 1500 GMT.

OP please clarify if I have got that wrong.

I am getting a lot of interest in the tournament. Especially from new players which is great. Please head over to the TTS Discord and ask for a game or two to get some practice in.

Hi Everyone,

ToraSamurai is going to be streaming both rounds and commenting on listbuilding and tactics. We will hopefully be using a TTS mod that will allow us to stream 5 tables at once. This should provide a little more action for streaming. His youtube can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX6gTFOEOQ2zcjEwvPXb9hA/about

If you can't play I hope you tune in. But I also hope you can play.

There have been some questions regarding what is meant by a "new player." Generally, we want to be inclusive, but use your judgment. I am generally considering it to be anyone who has played the game for less than a year.
