Chicago Regional - Sat May 25th

We are on the calendar at Chicagoland Games (Dice Dojo). Same place we've had the Regional the last several years.

5550 N Broadway St Chicago, IL 60640

$15 Entry

Registration begins at 10am,
Registration ENDS at 10:45am

Rounds begin promptly at 11AM

Gameplay in each round will last exactly 1 hour. 10 minutes of set-up time will be given before the game clock begins each round (we will start the game clock when everyone is set and ready if it is before 10 minute set-up time is done).

Number of Swiss (initial) rounds depend on number of participants.
<8 = 3 rounds
9-16 = 4 rounds
17-32 = 5 rounds (very optimistic here)

For any number of participants above 8, cut to the top 4 and play 2 rounds of single elimination finals.

Prize support will depend on number of entries. GenCon badge to 1st place (minimum 12 entries) + Store credit and other prizes to the top finishers. Draft prizes for all participants!

Short 30 minute break between rounds 3 and 4 for food.

The whole event should be done by 7:30pm to give everyone plenty of time to get home. (Estimating 4 Swiss rounds)

Randy vs Jason in the finals

Congrats Randy!

Any more details on what was played?

Thanks to everyone for coming out!

9 very different squads.

5 were Sith but all played very different.

This shows how deep Sith has gotten.

-Bane Sithari with Kasim

-Revan and Set Harth

-Darth Baras and Warb Null

-Vader of Scarif and Sheev

-Kouhun swarm with Exar Force Ghost (The only Sith piece in the squad)



However, the wrecking ball that is Rey-lo was unstoppable, with BB-8 being the support piece extraordinaire.

I hesitate to say sith has gotten deep. None of those are top tier options. Some look fun to play.
Congrats on the win! And on the 9 players playing.
I am joining the vassal tournie to see how it goes. Playing a "non top tier" squad as well. They are the most fun! And i do like how people are playing fun looking squads.

Fair point. I think most are competitive, and at least a couple have potential to be top tier with a couple tweaks, but it remains to be seen. I think it’s at least fair to say there are many more options for decently competitive (if not top tier).
