Woohoo!
The 2021 version of this annual event was held on time (near Logan1's birthday). It was again kept smaller due to continued world conditions. But always fun to get together with a group to play SWM.
With 7 players, the group said three rounds would be good as one undefeated player would emerge.
Round 1
Owen vs RJ finished 105-23 for 2-0
Logan1 vs Micah finished 155-133 for 2-1
Tim vs Mark finished 221-23 for 3-0
Drew drew the bye for a 200-0 3 point win
Round 2
Tim vs Drew finished 97-91 for 2-0
Logan1 vs Owen finished 240-135 for 3-1
Micah vs RJ finished 240-0 for 3-0
Mark won/lost the luck of the draw (he and RJ were even after the first round) to get the 200-0 3-0 bye
Round 3
Tim vs Logan1 finished 187-86 for 3-0 (almost the mirror result of their LBB9 game when Logan1 won)
Micah vs Drew finished 129-88 for 2-0
Owen vs Mark finished 239-70 for 3-0
RJ had the 200-0 3-0 bye win
Final standings
Tim 3-0 8 pts
Micah 2-1 6 pts
Owen 2-1 6 pts
Logan1 2-1 5 pts
Drew 1-2 3 pts
Mark 1-2 3 pts
RJ 1-2 3 pts
bye 0-3 0 pts
Drew again made custom trophies for top 3. This time … Stormtrooper holding a birthday cake while standing on a platform above a 3D LBB 2021 logo.

Tim's random squad
The night before, I was at my computer wondering what squad I would bring. And I wasn't going to have time to think about it. So BlooMilk's squad search to the rescue. What to search on? Well, the info for my Double Barrel shock for my MTB bike was on the desk next to my computer. How about "double?" A squad called Double Cannon was similar to my Double Barrel shock name, so that's works.
--Double Cannon--
43 Jabba Desilijic Tiure
31 Mother Talzin
75 Nightsister Hunter x3
21 Talia, Nightsister Hunter
17 Ortugg, Gamorrean Leader
6 Mouse Droid x2
6 Ugnaught Demolitionist x2
When Drew saw it, he said he thought this squad or something similar to it won GenCon. Is that true?
_______________________________________________________________________________
Logan1’s squad:
The mandalorian and the child
Embo
Guild master cradosk
Ig-11
R7 astromech
Porg
3x mandalorian guardsman
_______________________________________________________________________________
RJ's squad:
Lieutenant page
Commando on speeder
Rebel commando strike leader
General crux marine
Elite rebel commando
4x Veteran rebel commando
2x rebel commando munitions expert
2x rebel commando pathfinder
2x mouse droids
______________________________________________________________________________
Micah's squad:
Hondo Ohnaka
Dashade Pirate
Aurra Sing, Assassin
Enfys Nest
Vette
Arvo Norstag, Pirate King
Captain Zothip
Pirate Breechman
_______________________________________________________________________________
Drew's Squad:

35 General Leia Organa
34 Chewbacca with Bowcaster
33 Han Solo with Bowcaster
30 Ben Solo, Redeemed
25 Rey
19 Resistance Captain
14 Luke Skywalker, Jedi Spirit
13 BB-8
6 Cobalt Squadron Pilot
5 Porg

Mark asked me the morning of if he could borrow all of my Geonosian Drones. Hmmmm, what was he up to? :>) He also asked Logan1 if he could borrow some more.
Mark's Squad:
"Dooku’s Lancer" (variant)
57 Count Dooku, Separatist Leader
43 Wat Tambor, Techno Union Foreman
31 IG Lancer Droid
20 General Whorm Loathsom
17 IG-86 Assassin Droid
9 Poggle the Lesser
9 Battle Droid Officer
3 Mouse Droid
6 Ugnaught Demolitionist x2
4 Geonosian Drone x2
The funniest thing (for the rest of us, but not for Mark):
Dooku's reserves on 5,10,15,20 along with Anticipation should bring in a plenty of extra figures, right?
Across all three games, with all the initiative rolls, Dooku using Force points every time for Anticipation rerolls, and rerolls for die roll ties with his opponents, Dooku brought in reserves twice.
Mark wanted to have some fun with that squad. He didn't. What should have been Reserves 40+% of the time only paid off <10%.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Owen's squad:
"Mandalorian Dog Pound"
75 Mandalore the Ultimate
55 Mandalore the Preserver
36 Cassus Fett
30 Massiff x3
3 Ugnaught Demolitionist

Wow - I missed that this happened. That's awesome!
And, yes, Talzin did win GenCon.

The squad was a little different, it had Asajj Ventress Nightsister.
Congrats on the win!
Note on your squad Tim, have you thought about Bib Fortuna, Majordomo? He makes Fringe Hutt Cartel squads amazing. You wouldn't need Ortug, and the movement breaker (although tricky to get the hang of), is extremely powerful. Not to mention the rapport with Jabba makes his net cost very cheap.
