Cost: FREE!
Map List: A, B, C, D. Use them all...all of them. Please note that not all maps from the current Restricted Map List are available for use on Vassal. If anyone can get me some good-quality images of the maps, I'll add them and we'll use them.

Prizes: Bragging rights and the deep respect of all the highly skilled players on Vassal. :)
Rounds: Swiss format until we have 1 undefeated player, then cutting to a Top 4 for playoff rounds (1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd, then the winners play each other in the Finals).

Here is a link to download the most current versions of the Vassal mod (version 11.0) and the V-Sets extension (version 9.0): Trevor's OneDrive


How to Register

How the Tournament Will Run
At the start of every new tournament round, everyone will gather in the Main Room on Vassal. I will announce the pairings, and then you and your opponent will make your room. From the moment your pairing is announced, you will have 70 minutes to complete your game. If this were a regular face-to-face tournament, I would obviously prefer to have everyone wait until I announce the start-time so that everyone has exactly the same amount of time. But since we’re on Vassal, I think the easiest and simplest way to do it is to start the time immediately, and give some extra time to set up. Since we’ll all be using Skype, there is no reason why the game has to take longer than 60 minutes. We’ll have 10 minutes to reveal squads, load a map, and pull out our pieces. If some people can get set up faster than 10 minutes, then they’ll have a few extra minutes to play.

We will be using a strict 3-2 scoring system: it will be “200 or 2.” No exceptions, UNLESS you have contacted me beforehand during the match because of a computer glitch or because your opponent was slow-playing, in which case I’ll examine each situation as it comes. Once I call time (that is, by saying so in the game chat or via PM to one of the players), those who are still playing can finish their round and then report their results. If you come prepared to play quickly (but not foolishly) and finish your games under the time limit, you'll have a better chance of doing well.

Im in thats for sure!

Just wanted to verify, we are in fact using 3-2 scoring instead of 3-2-1 right? Just asking in case it was just copy paste error. Also I will likely have a member of my playgroup make his tournament debut, he just has to check on a few things first before he can say for sure if he can play.

EDIT: He's confirmed he's good to play! He doesn't have a bloomilk account so sign him up as KyleL

Alright, gonna try and make this work.

Thanks Trevor for being cognizant of what date will (hopefully) get the most players. It's not an ideal date for me (parents are coming to town that day), but I feel it's my duty to step up and make it happen. Obviously I want to play too!

I have noticed for years that the vassal regional tends to be under attended which is always disappointing. In theory it should be the biggest regional. I guess because it's on vassal people don't make arrangements to specifically set aside the time. For me I always have to request off work for any regional, and this is no different. Much easier to tell your boss "I'll be in Michigan" or "I'll be in Wisconsin." This one is tricky to explain. But I have requested off, and assuming that request gets granted I will be playing in this tournament (outside of an emergency situation of course)

I encourage others to step up and make the commitment, let's at least make this a regional that is above 10 people like most of the other regionals have been!

Jonny you had a blast and you know it!!

Jonny, what could be more fun for you than completely thrashing me in a game!?!

Got the work request off granted. Let's roll!

I believe Darth Moore is playing in this tournament

Yes I will be playing 😊see you all on Sunday
