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.
