Can we get the official rules for King of the ring soon?

Rules you say? Alright then rules it shall be...

Each KotR contestant shall bring a 200 constructed four character squad, which adheres to normal faction interaction. At the start of the contest we will look to see how many brave souls have accepted the challenge to determine ring pairings.

So the following mix will be in effect for the opening round...

3 players - one ring
4 players - one ring
6 players - two rings, three contestants
8 players - two rings, four contestants
9 players - three rings, three contestants
10 players - two rings, five contestants
12 players - three rings, four contestants

Should the number of players be 5, 7 or 11 it will be my duty as host to bow out of the KotR. As this creates an imbalance within a particular ring. Each contestant will be assigned a number for the round which will determine character deployment. Our ring girl Lady Nuthenge shall randomly roll the appropriate polyhedral die for the contestant, then a d4 for the specific character. Combat could conceivably ensue as late as round six based on the die rolls. Initiative will behave as normal, standard d20 descending order of roll.

As a contestant eliminates a character from the ring those points are awarded to the player who scored the kill shot, contestants should keep an accurate accounting of their kills as it may determine their passage to the elimination round.
Opening round finishes when there is only one contestant's forces remaining in each ring. The survivors receive the auto bid to the elimination round while highest kill total non survivor/s shall fill out the final four. Repeat process in the elimination round until two contestants remain the round survivor and highest kill point from the elimination round.

The final round shall be played slightly differently than the previous two round where in each combat round both players will have a random character selection rolled, so as to make it as equitable as possible. The final round shall be played on the KotR trophy crafted by Pastorbudwine and it is a thing of beauty. So three rounds in all, should play fast so we can get to other silliness.

Survival of the craftiest, fittest and most importantly the luckiest!

One last thing, alliances are expressly frowned upon in this format as DQ's are possible.

Negative, squads do not have be exactly 200.

Everyone active in the ring at the beginning of the round rolls for init on a d20.

Thx. I haven't played this since last June and I think we just did epic duo then. So one piece in the ring from your team at a time?

If that's the case ghosts would serve no purpose correct?

Hey guys looking forward to playing the best players in the country out there next saturday. Luke and myself are playing and thinking about brining my 8 year old son to play x-wing, and wondering how many of you are up for a few games as the playoffs are going on. Just trying to get a feel so its not a wasted trip for my younger guy, as he is willing to give up his basketball game for minis action. Also he would love to play the person with the bye in xwing if there are uneven players during the SWM tourney.

As above you're assigned a number at your ring, the ring girl each round rolls if your number comes up then a d4 is rolled to determine which of your pieces are to be placed.

Squads are limited to 3 CE's and the Yammosk does count for a CE slot. Only significant change from last go round would be 75 points for gambit (still only scored by Epic) and ABM active only until the end of the turn.

My biggest concern is the number of players available for the Epic 500, I'd hate to see only 4-6 be involved.

I don't have any pieces but I know how to play so if you have the enough stuff I'd play if I got a bye.

If jak struts around in a bikini, then please to pass cyanide capsule and glass of water. As this would be an auto fail of my sanity check.
