Nuke-Con Tournament in Omaha, NE

By davro, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Organized Play

What: Star Wars the Card Game tournament

When: Sat, Oct 4th @ 6:00 pm

Where: Nuke-Con - Ramada Plaza Omaha, Omaha, NE

We will play 3- 70 minute rounds using Swiss pairings.

There is no entry fee for the tournament, but you do have to pay to get into the convention. I suggest attending all-day Saturday, if not the whole weekend. I'll be running demos and have space for open-play Sat morning from 9am-11. Then at 12 noon there'll be an X-Wing tournament, followed immediately by the card game tournament.

All skill levels are welcome and we'll pair up players based on experience level when possible.

FFG refused to provide prize support, so some of the details are still up in the air. Right now it looks like:

  • 1st Place: $15 in Con-bucks, choice of 2 sets of Star Wars art sleeves, Ultra Pro: Pro+ deck box
  • 2nd Place: $10 Amazon gift card, 1 set of Star Wars art sleeves
  • 3rd Place: $5 in Con-bucks
  • random participation prizes: 1 Ultra Pro: Pro Duel deck box. 2 Ultra Pro: Pro+ deck boxes
  • 1 Con-Buck, randomly awarded each round to a losing player.

The convention is providing additional prize support itself, but I may not know exactly what that is until game time.

Can you expand on the 'refused' to supply prize support? I believe most players use the league kits as prizes, and outside of Gencon/May 4th events, I don't think FFG has supplied anyone with prizes, for anything.

That sad statement sums up their willingness to support their games in a nutshell. If you want to get more in-depth on the topic, I'd prefer that we do it somewhere else and not side-track this thread.

Updated w/additional prizes provided by the convention.
