X-Wing Vassal Tournament Registration

By mrfroggies, in X-Wing

Welcome to the third X-Wing Vassal Tournament. This event will follow the official FFG tournament rules. You will play a 100 point list through out the event. No changes to your squad once you post your list. For each round I will post the match ups and you will have one week to complete your games. I will need a logfile of your match so that I can confirm winner, or resolve any disputes. Here's some recommendations to help speed up the game and improve your over all play experience. First save a log file of your list, so that you can do a easy setup and the beginning of your match. Sense you will be using the same list through out this event, it will save you lots of time. If you have some Voip software, it will help speed the communication between you and your opponent. While this isn't a must have, it does help. If you have any questions about the event, please post as you question. I'm happy to help out, and it most likely will help others too. For those of you that are interested, but aren't familiar with Vassal, here's a link to a Tutorial to help you get started.

Wave 3 ships will be allowed in this event, but as of the time of this post Vassal doesn't have the wave 3 ships. Some of the community members are currently working to get this going, but if they don't finish before registration, then you can proxy your ships as needed. I will make the rules on Proxies clearer when we start the tournament.

Registration Process

  • Register an account at Team Covenant
  • Send me a private message that you want to sign up. Please create your list at Void State Squad builder and send me a link.
  • Registration ends on Sunday the 15th of September. First round matches will be posted on the 16th

Ranked Games

These games will be Ranked. The Guys here at Team Covenant have a ranking system, that's very similar to a chess style ranking. At the end of the end of each round you will see your online rank change. Part of the registration for this event is that you must have an account here, so that I can update your rank.

Let the Registration begin

I hope all of you who signed up for the last event join in once again, and for those of you who found out just a little bit to late, I look forward to seeing you play this time around. If you know people who are interested, I encourage you to invite them. Good luck to everyone and may the force be with you!

Is the void state squad builder back up and running?

This tournament will be the closest thing to Worlds before the big tournament. A lot of high level and skilled players. I can't wait!

Voidstate does not seem to be functioning at the moment.

Until Voidstate is back to 100%, just write up your list and PM me.

I'm considering roark and b wings.

Yay. Count me in (99% sure)

What happens if we are unable to complete a game? I'll be away for vacation for the first round and will probably not be able to complete that game. Though there is a possibility that I could find time and I would like to play in the other rounds even if I miss the first one.

You'd just lose the first match. 3-1 still made it to the top 8. (plus you have a whole week to get your match done)

Cool, I'm in then. I should be able to find the time to play, I just didn't wanted to make sure it wouldn't be anything huge if I couldn't. Now I have to decide which of the squads I've been fiddling around with would go over best.

Picking the squad is always the hard part for me.

Wave 3 modules are up. FYI.

Does it matter if you have uneven selections of imps and rebels?

In the last two tournaments I've run it's been fairly even with Imps Vs Rebs. There's been a couple more rebel squads. It doesn't really matter that much. In the Finals match between the last two, it's been a Imperial vs Rebel match. I try to avoid mirror matches when I do the first round, but after that, it's based on win loss record.

I actually think I figured one out while I was at work last night. Now to see if I can't get it play tested a couple times before I submit a final version to you.

I've seen a lot of players online testing their builds in prep for the event. You should be able to get a game to try it out

For those of you interested in playing, please make your account over at http://teamcovenant.com There site has some custom software that I use to run the tournament, as well as setting up the rankings.

As of today I have 20 players registered. In the last tournament we had 32 players sign up. I know a lot of players are going to wait until the last minute as they test out their squads. I have a feeling this one will be even bigger then the last event.

I'm about 90% sure I'm gonna run 2 rookies and 2 blues with HLC.

That list is nasty.

As of now I have 32 players registered, with several people I'm waiting to hear back from. I'm guessing this will be close to 40 players. If you want to test yourself before Worlds this is really the event to do it in.

Here's a link to all the latest version of all the Vassal Modules + extensions.
