Looking forward to this one!

This tournament is open to everyone, but will be capped at 24 people. The slots will be filled with the first 24 to rsvp.

Are wave 3 ships and upgrades allowed in this tourney, or is it wave 1-2 only?

Doug, It will for now be wave 1 and 2. Also the date will be the September 21st due to my schedule conflict.

A question for you. Do you think wave 3 ships will create an imbalance for those who didn't have an opportunity to get them at Gencon and currently do not have them?

Well, a wave 1 only squad just won nationals. I think this game is pretty well balanced as it is. The thing is you have to be good flying what you bring. So balance-wise I think we're okay running wave 3 stuff. But I also don't want to harbor any bad feelings, either. So I'm okay running with just wave 1 and 2. Either way, I just figured id ask. Worse you could say is no.

I guess it also depends on when wave 3 releases to everyone. They are currently on a boat, and your tourney is almost 4 weeks out, so they may arrive by then. That may change things.

Expected release of wave 3 is Sept 13th. I'd say wave 3 should be legal for this tourney, as everyone will be anxious to play with their new toys.

Just rename it as a wave 3 release tourney.
