I'll be there with anywhere from 1 to 4 people in tow. Can't wait.

Hey old friend! Hope you are well.

Trying to work out a way to make this happen! With any luck I'll see you there.

Is that a Sidebothom I hear?, Come on down, we look to have a good crowd. The more the merrier.

Will be intown for a soccer tournament but save me a spot if the soccer tourney rains out.

How did the Tournament finish?

What players and builds placed?

It was a debacle.

I had messed up on the records for the previous round, so the pairings were a little off. #1 vs. #4, #2 vs. #3, instead of #1 vs. #2, #3 vs. #4, and when #4 beat #1, he thought that he won. but as I had partially corrected my mistake, he actually ended up tied for first, with str./schedule knocking him down to fifth.

Then I was shown another correction, and the #3 finalist dropped below him to fifth, pushing him back up into the top four. I handed out the prizes,

Then, when I got home and started to go over the results again, I realized that third, and fourth had actually switched position with their str./ of schedule. so I contacted everyone and am in the process of getting the prize support correct.

The Players were very understanding, and I was happy/ and nervous to have 14 players. We are usually playing with less than 8, so I was not fully prepared, plus the late start meant that we were pushing against the closing time of the store. (we actually went over for just under an hour.) So I appreciate the store, Borderlands Comics and Games, as well.

Stay tuned, there will be some more tournaments/ announcements coming up. and the guys that came down from Tenn., are running a few tournaments as well.

As for the ship builds, there were two Imperial "swarms", with Interceptors/TIE mix, and Four Rebel builds, usually with a mix of xxbb, in the top six.

Prize support was: 1rst--30$ gift Certificate, Choice of color, acrylic range ruler, and set of acrylic movement templates. 2nd got the other color range ruler, and a 15$ gift certificate, 3rd place got a 10$ gift certificate, and 4th place got a 5$ gift certificate, so he basically played for free.

Everyone had a great time, and were very patient, and understanding.

Great tournament. Super excited at the turnout of 14 and the Escalation format is a blast to list build and play. I finished 2nd due to completely punting the 60pt opener, my only loss. My higher point builds pretty much did what I wanted them too, lots of firepower and Action economy. My 150pt ended up with Super Kyle, Garven, Dutch, and 2 Blues with HLCs. Thanks to Jolley and the gang for a great time. Look forward to you guys coming up to TN for the next Fly Casual.
