Hi All,
Last year Pete and I went along to the inaugural X-Wing UK Team Championships hosted by the Guardians of Tyr in Milton Keynes. It was a lot of fun and it would be cool if we could send a team or two along this year.
This year's event is in Milton Keynes on the 9th October. Last year we finished 24th out of 32 teams and it would be great to see if we can top that. I understand from the event's facebook page that there will be 64 teams this year.
Tickets go on sale in July (exact date tbc) and last year the tickets were £60 for a team of three players so would expect something similar. As they're likely to go quickly I thought I'd try and mobilise people in advance.
Each team is made up of three players who each take one 100pt list. Each player on a team has to take a different faction, (i.e. each team has 1 Imperial, 1 Rebel/Resistance and 1 scum player). Teams are matched up against each other using a Swiss system, with individual games then chosen by the respective players from each team.
Let me know who's in and if there is enough interest we can then sort tickets and teams.
Matt
Players interested:
1. Matt 2. Jono 3. Sim 4. Sam 5. Pete

I'd like to go to this, surely we've got enough general interest at the club for 2 teams?

Cool - that makes one team at the very least! I've added a list to the opening thread so we can always add to it as people reply.

The X-Wing Team Nationals is a one day event. However, this year the Guardians of Tyr do have the venue for the whole weekend. There will be team nationals for a range of FFG games like Netrunner on the Saturday, with X-Wing team nationals on the Sunday. You'd only do two days if you wanted to play different game systems.
The X-Wing tournament was a one day tournament with 5 rounds of Swiss with no cut. I think it could go up to six rounds of Swiss this year as the number of teams is doubling from 32 to 64.

I've added you to the list Pete. That makes 5 of us so 1 more person and we'll have enough players for 2 teams.
The TO has also set up a closed Facebook group for the event. It's worth a few of you signing up so its not just me looking out for updates,

As I can't go to the individual nationals this year I definitely want to get along to this one.
