Back by popular demand, I present the second regional of the season, aptly named APRIL SUNDAY REGIONAL!!!!!

ALL ARE WELCOME, regardless of geography!!!


Please let me know in this thread if you plan on playing.



Additional request - Have a Discord account! It is FREE! It is super handy! We can all chat in the main room between games. You can check out other people's games if you finish early (and hear them talk!)

Not required, but strongly encouraged!


Squads and map selections can be PMed to UrbanShmi anytime after Thursday April 21 (I will PM a neutral party my squad before then and post in this thread when I have done so). Please send squad link, copy/paste of squad, map, and DISCORD NAME (with the # and 4 digits) {Discord name and # only necessary if you are not already a part of the SWM Discord group. We only need that info 1 time}

*Registration ENDS April 24 at 12:30 pm US CENTRAL (1:30 p.m. Eastern)

*Round 1 begins promptly at 1:00 p.m. CENTRAL (2:00 p.m. Eastern)

{Please gather in Vassal and Discord by 10 minutes before the start time}


Gameplay in each round will last exactly 75 minutes. Each player is responsible for timing their own games. Players are expected to set up and be ready to start at a reasonably fast pace to keep the tournament moving.

Number of Swiss rounds depend on number of participants.
8 or fewer = 3 rounds, cut to top 2 (or just straight 4 rounds of Swiss, decided based on numbers)
9-16 = 4 rounds, cut to top 4
17-32 = 5 rounds (very optimistic here), cut to top 6; 1-2 have byes 3vs6 and 4vs5; lowest seed vs 1, highest seed vs 2

Bump to get a few more.
@timmerb haven't seen you in here since my glorious return.

Bump Bumpity indeed UrbanShmi -
it'll be interesting to see what squad compositions are fielded!

Bumping. Would love to get a few more before next weekend!

Okay, indecision is killing me, so let's make this interesting. I've got two squads in mind, Rebels and Republic. If someone else signs up for the tournament before Thursday (which is the deadline by which I have to submit my squad), they can choose which faction I play.

If no one else signs up before Thursday, then I will give a countdown for the other three players to vote on a faction. I plan to submit my squad by Thursday at noon, but if it takes more time to get votes in, we can work with that.

Again--if one more person signs up today or tomorrow, I will let them pick the faction of the squad I play. If no one else signs up before Thursday, I will allow the remaining three players (Udorian, thereisnotry, and AceAce) to vote on which faction they want me to play. Either way, the decision is out of my hands.

Now to figure out which maps go with these squads...

Ok, hearing no others, those of you who have already regidtered, please vote on which faction I should play. Rebels or Republic.

I will post again once I have submitted my squad

My squad and map is ready too. And just to make it interesting, I think Laura should play Rebels...but honestly it's not a big deal either way...I just want to play!

Picking the map is so hard!
Some of the maps really are hard to play on, which makes it fun though. I need more "map time".

This will be fun!

Or you can go the Kanao Tsuyuri route and flip a coin.
I actually ordered one to give to my son who is always asking what he should do haha.

I love that idea, then at the end when both squads are revealed and you realize you would have faired a lot better against the other one haha. But it does make it fun and I love playing different squads as well.
