i might actually be able to attend this! jedi challenge sounds really fun! i've always wanted to go to Gencon and have that experience, but i've never been able to. This might be my only chance to compete on a large stage, so i'm going to heavily consider doing this.

I've taken the week off from work, so it's simpler for me in that way. I totally understand the challenge that work will still pose for many of us.
However, even if you do have to work, I'd like to suggest that we all take a serious look at the events we CAN attend. If nothing else, Saturday afternoon is usually pretty open for most people (for the Championship). Similarly, Friday evening at 7pm (Eastern time) is the Team Tournament. I would hope that both of those events are fairly accessible when it comes to scheduling, and they're also both a ton of fun!
Cheers, everyone! Here's to playing SWM at GenCon, but not having to smell the Magic players! [hehehe]

I assume we will be playing 75 min rounds, as has been the standard on Vassal for quite some time, correct?

I assume these are all the current rules (since the 200 has special rules)? V-set and WotC legal, all balance committee floor rulings, etc.

thereisnotry just updated the Vassal module to include Starport Terminal, which is on the Restricted list but hasn't been in Vassal until now. I just got confirmation from James (jew3) that events using the Restricted list will in fact be able to use this map. The events above that are using the Restricted list are: Quote:Thursday
100 Pts
150 Pts
Saturday
Champs
Sunday
Sealed (Always Two There Are) Starport Terminal will be legal for (at least) those 4 events.

What are the thoughts of the powers that be of changing the 150 Vset only and the 150 standard in the Jedi Challenge to push 3 different build types?

Is there any cost for this? I just noticed the official "Gen Con Online" is charging I think $2 per event. Are we doing it through them or just off on our own?
