Tournament format type

By pitsch, in X-Wing

So I wanna try out this format. Can someone give me their thoughts as well? I like it, but it could suck so I want to run it by the community. Is there a way to exploit it?

Tournament

150 pts

100 pt initial force

50 pt reinforcements.

Reinforcements cannot be brought in till the after the 2nd round. If player brings in reinforcements, the player must bring in all 50 Pts at once. Placement for reinforcements is the same as normal game. Total points is used to determine who goes first.

Thoughts?

I would think you want a range of values. Total force 150, initial force 75-100 or 90-100. All reinforcements must be brought in at once.

That way you're not "gimping" the reinforcements to strictly 50 points. What if I wanted Han to be my backup because I'm all thematic and whatnot and my main squad is luke wedge and biggs, with Han reinforcing. The standard Han addons (Marksmanship + Gunner) brings him up to 54 points. Which if I keep my original force at 96 points, shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, so, up the points to 75 for reinforcements, should I keep starting 100 or 75?

I would cap starting at 100, cap reinforcements at 60-75, cap total at 150.
