Is that correct that both this and GASP's Star Wars LCG are the same day and time? Blerg.

No, the Star Wars LCG doubles up with A Game of Thrones LCG. X-Wing and Netrunner are on their own days.

We had limited days to run these events, so we had to double up somewhere. We actually added another Games Day in Match for Netrunner.

Feb 8 Star Wars & AGoT

Mar 8 X-Wing

Mar 22 Netrunner

Ah my bad. I saw they were both on the 8th without realizing they were a month apart.

Just over 1 week until this event. We are currently at 11 players, and will accept walk-ups until we reach 32. You can also still register via our Meetup site up to the day of the event.

Hope to see some new faces.

Thanks,

I am new to your site interested in joining torny. Do you still have space avail?

Spots still available, just head to our Meetup site and RSVP. The link is in the first post.

Alternately, you can register the day of the event, but this will be first-come for the remaining spots. Please show up by 11am either way so we are ready for a noon start.

Thanks,

That link is not working.

Meetup is currently unavailable Update 3/2/14 at 8:09 pm EST

Over the past several days, Meetup has suffered a prolonged denial of service (DDoS) attack, resulting in intermittent service outages for our website and apps. We're working urgently to bring Meetup back and restore full functionality. We appreciate your patience.

For the latest information on the situation, we recommend that you follow Meetup on Twitter, Facebook, or check our blog.

Looks like Meetup's website is going through some issues.

If you are sure you're going to make it out, PM me your info and I'll add you to the roster and reserve a spot for you. You can pay the $5 the day of the event.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Don

FYI, the Meetup site is up and running again.

I'm going to close the Meetup RSVPs Saturday morning @ 8am. After that it will on-site registrations only. Regardless if you pre-reg'd or not, please arrive around 11am so your squad lists can be reviewed and other paperwork can be completed. We'll have a long day, so we'll start the actual tournament promptly at noon.

We are currently at 16 players, with a few more expected to register on-site.

Thanks,

Don

Awesome turn-out yesterday, 19 players in all competed. Only 1 player had to leave, and that was after he played 4 of the 5 rounds.

I posted the pictures on our Meetup site.

Thanks,

Don

Results and lists please!

I'll post the top 4 lists later.

General results the final tournament point totals for the top 4 were tight: 25, 20, 18, 16. A bunch at 15, a few at 10, and one person with 0. As the tournament organizer, I awarded the extra range ruler to the last place finisher.

We gave away just over $120 in prizes, above and beyond the kit items. This was all raffled off so that everyone had a chance to win. Players received 1 extra raffle ticket for every loss they recorded, and could buy extras if desired.

All that plus free drinks for only a $5 entry fee. Everyone had a blast, and we'll be running Game Night kit events for each season in the future.

Thanks,,

Don
