ok, so my PA/NJ regional is going to be in june, but until then i am going to run a series of tournaments with prizes in them, and whoever has the best performance in these tournaments goes to gencon as the representative.
first tournament is going to be 300 points, february 23, 2019. It starts at 6 pm and it is double elimination. as far as v-sets go a team cannot be too reliant on them, only 3 allowed max. the gambit rules apply
PM me for info on the location because i am having it at my house

To be a regional, the format is predetermined. Basically just like GenCon but the maplist is slightly different.
- 200pts
- Played with 10pt gambit (scored only by a piece with cost 10 or more)
- Swiss followed by a knockout round. (Although some tournaments cut that short for time.)
- 3/2/1 scoring. (3pts for full win. 2pts for incomplete win. 1pt for a loss that scores at least 100pts)
- Number of rounds depends on the number of people who show up.
- V-sets legal
- Errata, etc.
Of course, anyone can run any tournament they want, but to be called a regional, it specifically matches the competitive environment for GenCon (where the world championships are).

ok well theres gonna be a series of tournaments so this one will kick things off but theres going to be more than one leading up to it. playing too many v sets kind of destroys the idea of collecting the figures so i dont want people bringing a team full of v set guys. so this one isnt a regional

I still haven't sold my minis yet, so I check here from time to time to see if someone like Flying Arrow is running something close. Since I haven't competed since 2017, my builds will reflect that point in time, but that's ok. Flying Arrow still invites me to stuff and if it works with my schedule and is close, I'd still love to play the game before I unload my collection. My GenCon days are over but I've made a lot of friends from this game over the years.
So...if I can, I'd like to come to something like this. I'd have to be able to create my own build using tournament legal parameters with the full selection of Vset and WotC products. I would entertain odd build point totals, but usually don't like build restrictions. Just my 2 cents.
For anyone who doesn't know me, I live in central Pa near Harrisburg.
I'll check this thread from time to time, and Flying Arrow knows how to get in touch with me.

Hello, I'm located in Philadelphia and I am definitely interested in this. Took my minis out of storage after a long time of not playing. Not sure if I could field a super competitive team with my minis, but would love to participate anyway to meet up with people who still enjoy playing this game. Please let me know of any details. Thank you.
