We are STILL holding the 2020 Chicago Regional April 25th.

only now it will be held on Vassal (for obvious reasons)

The 2020 "Chicago" Regional (on Vassal)


ALL ARE WELCOME, regardless of geography!!!


Please let me know in this thread if you plan on playing. I'll have a running list


Squads can be PMed to TimmerB123 anytime after April 23rd (I will PM a neutral party my squad before then)

*Registration ENDS April 25th at 2:45pm central time

*Rounds begin promptly at 3:00pm central time


Gameplay in each round will last exactly 75 minutes. 10 minutes of set-up time will be given before the game clock begins each round (we will start the game clock when everyone is set and ready if it is before 10 minute set-up time is done).

Number of Swiss (initial) rounds depend on number of participants.
<8 = (something modified that gets us 4 rounds of play. Round Robin, random draw, short Swiss, etc)
9-16 = 4 rounds
17-32 = 5 rounds (very optimistic here)

For any number of participants above 8, cut to the top 4 and play 2 rounds of single elimination finals.


Short 30 minute food break between rounds 3 and 4.

Legal Map Lists will be:
Anchorhead
Cloud City
Gangster's Vault
Great Library
Offworld Shipping
Rebel Fortress
Rhen Var Citadel
(all the restricted list available vassal maps)

UPDATE! (See first post for details)

We will be doing the "Chicago" Regional on Vassal this year. Same date

J and I are IN.

Set 19 has been legal for a while now. I can't speak for Tim, but I imagine it will be.

As for the maplist, it should be:

Anchorhead
Cloud City
Offworld Shipping
Rebel Fortress
Rhen Var Citadel
Bothan Spynet (not on the current restricted list, but added for the Vassal Regional).

The Restricted list is pinned to the top of the General forum here on Bloo.

Added into first post

Important - we WILL accommodate starting later if our friends from New Zealand (or elsewhere!) will commit to attending (2pm central time). Otherwise we will stick to the above schedule. If you live in the Americas and it will not be good for you to have the time pushed back, contact me. I want to accommodate the maximum # of people

Thanks for these links; I don't want to commit yet but once I figure out VASSAL and study these rules I will probably be in.

I'm in!

Have that day off now. I'm in.,

Still looking to see if any Kiwis are joining us so we can finalize the time of the event

Gandolf said he could make it if we start later. I’m gonna make the start time 3pm central.
