We are hosting our first regional event for Star Wars LCG/X-Wing at our store. How much do you charge for an Entry fee? How long is one of these events? I need some help planning this thing. Anyone have any pointers?

I would say charge between $5-$10 to cover your cost for the regional event pack you have to buy from fantasy flight. Then if there is money left over add it to the prize pool either as store credit or ships as prizes. Since the trophy is supplied in the regional pack it is up to you what to do for other prizes. As far as how to run the tournament, the tournament rules should cover the tournament rules. the pairings should be done as a swiss pairing system with winners playing each other, but also the point factor should come into play. I use a java program I got from fantasy flight. Works beautifully. I run my tournaments as 50 minute rounds and 10 minute setup. So basically 1 hour per round. If you have any questions I have run 3 of these and it runs very smoothely.
