Here it is Folks! The Tournament you have all been waiting for!!!

Starting Date: Saturday August 5th, 9am (Eastern) start
Cost: FREE!
Map List: Vassal Custom. The Official Tennessee Regional Map List will be:

Cloud City (Restricted list A - Darkside)
Command Deck (Restricted list A - Darkside)
Outlaw City (Restricted list A - Darkside)
Bothan Spynet (Restricted list B - Lightside)
Commander's Office {i.e. ravaged base} (Restricted list B - Lightside)
Simulation Deck (Restricted list B - Lightside)

Legal Pieces: All WotC and V-Set pieces, up through and including V-Set 13 (including the BHC pieces). Please take note that you are welcome to use V-Set pieces, although you’ll need to use proxies for V-Set 11-13 since those pieces have not yet been added to the Vassal module.
Squad Format: 200pt Constructed. All SWMGPA Floor Rules will be in effect, including errata and decisions made by the SWM Balance Team.
Judge: shmi15. I'd like to have another judge who can rule if a dispute arises in one of my games; please volunteer if interested.
Prizes: Bragging rights. Name and Squad will be placed in a Forum of Honor and the deep respect of all the highly skilled players on Vassal.
Format: Standard Regional format: Swiss rounds based on attendance, 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).
Game Length: 70 min rounds, including setup time. Since we’ll all be using Skype, there is no reason why the game has to take longer than 60 minutes, but since the Vassal interface might not be completely familiar to some players, we’ll make it 70 just to be fair to everyone. Players need to keep track of their own time during their matches. Set a countdown timer.
System Requirements: You must have Skype, or at least some sort of live voice-chat capability such as FaceTime or a basic phone call, in order to play. Seriously, there are so many different avenues available to us now that there’s really no good reason not to have a way to speak with your opponent. Most phone plans have nationwide unlimited minutes now, so that's easy.
You must also have the newest versions of the Vassal mod (version 11) and the V-Set extensions (v 10.0) on your computer.

How to Register
1. Sign up in this thread
2. Before 8:30 am EST on Saturday, August 5th, send me a BM that includes ALL of the following information for yourself:
-Real name
-Screen name on Vassal
-Skype name and/or phone number (if you plan to use it)
-Map choice
-A Bloomilk squad link for your squad. Make sure that your squad is set to Public rather than Private.
As with any Regional tournament, your squad and map choices will apply for the whole tournament. You may not change your squad or map after the tournament has begun.


How the Tournament Will Run

We will all gather together in the main room on Vassal before 9am on Saturday Aug. 5th. I recommend you assemble your squad before then and save it, so it's easy to pull up for each game. I will assign matchups. Games will be played and when finished we will return to the main room.

Gaming disputes (ie, slow play, cheating, etc) that arise during the game should be directed to me via Vassal private message.

We will be using a strict 3-2 scoring system: it will be “200 or 2.” No exceptions. Since people will be playing at different times, there is no way to reliably contact someone to resolve a dispute, and so please just play fairly and at a good speed. Seriously, it's not like there are big cash prizes on the line or anything! :) Consider this preparation for GenCon or other big events, where you'll need to know how to play quickly if you want to do well.

Let's get signed up and play some mini's!!!

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING PLEASE ASK ON HERE

cannot play

Prior commitment.

Yes, sorry, 9 Eastern.

And Timmer, I will add you to the list, don't you dare bring Vong tho ;)

And like I said, if need be, we can hold the championships on Sunday, or if it gets really crazy, do the championships within a week of Saturday. Beautiful thing about Vassal right?

Which Map Pack is the most Vassal friendly? Is there any map list that is missing maps on Vassal? I'm gonna roll a dice shortly to see which one as long as they are all good.

I'm not even sure how many of them are in there.

I'd recommend allowing any of the 10 current legal maps that are actually on Vassal to be played

Recommendation Denied! Just kidding. That sounds great to me. Official Map List.

Updated.

Th Council has agreed

I would play, but I've never played a competitive match before. I'm trying to get DarkDrakul to meet up with me and show me the ropes, but he is flakin out! I've played myself a bunch on vassal, but never anyone else. I'd probably be an auto win for everyone in the first round, be happy to play though.

What's your work schedule like - I might be able to meet up for a vassal game
