Not sure who to ask so hopefully someone reading this knows.

Minis Madness is from 3-7 on Saturday.
Tile Wars is 6-10.

Any chance a person could do both despite the 1 hour overlap?

I can't say for sure (I don't know exactly how minis madness is run).

Generally you can't even buy a ticket if times overlap.

But if you are out if minis madness (eliminated or drop) and you bring generics and are there before 6 of course you can play (assuming we have room, which we will. Tiles take up much less space).

Looking to add a couple more SWM events and not sure what to add. I got the 3 I most wanted to play early on: Champs, Sealed on Sunday, and Minis Madness.

I could add Tile Wars if the schedule fits. (Guess I won't know until game time on that one.)

I could add the Saturday night Team Tourney if there's a team looking for a player.

I could probably do the Friday night one instead (again if I had a team), but Royal Rumble doesn't appeal to me as much.

I'd add the Mystery Map tournament but I realized I already bought the map in the Kickstarter. I don't need a 2nd copy of the map for $12. Is there any way to pay just the normal $10 for an event and use my own copy of the map? (Christopher West will be in attendance and you can pick up Kickstarter copies from him in person.)

Friday at 4:00 is Vset Restricted 200 tourney. I have a non-SWM boardgame/RPG event from 12-4. Is it feasible to make it to that tournament on time? Do most events start 5 mins late/end 5 mins early to allow that sort of thing or should I not even try?
I'll add Tile Wars if it fits


Any advice? Just buy generics and wait and see?

Unfortunately, this is what I would say to do. Know what events are when, and where they are. You can make the decision to leave an event early, run over to another area fast if you feel that's what you want to do.

You're never guaranteed entry with generics, and I can't speak for every event - but I am more confident that you can get into TILE WARS than any of the others you mentioned assuming you're done with Minis Madness by 6. Have your squad with you of course!

Come by the team tournies early and see if anyone needs a teammate. We've made impromptu teams in the past this way. It's a little trickier sometimes since you can't overlap on unique characters with your teammates. I might even suggest building 3 legal squads, and that way if you find willing players they can just use one of your squads.
Also - ask around during the champs on Thurs and afterward. you may get it sorted out then.

Mystery Map - I cannot answer that. You might be able to sell the map right away.

Most events really try hard to start on time, and not to run over. But no guarantees either way. If someone knows your coming, the minis tournies might hold for a few minutes. It's hard because you don't want to throw a schedule off, but waiting a few minutes to get more players is in everyone's interest.
