So, FFG, have announced a brand new international tournament format today, culminating in an 8-player final at Star Wars Celebration in London. The UK Open Event is Yavin, which is being held from the 3rd to the 5th June in Birmingham. Although this doesn't say so, I'd expect this to be at the boardgames expo as FFG seem to be holding the events at big conventions. E.g. As well as the dates and location matching for the UK, the USA event looks like its at Adepticon. Open Series AnnouncementOpen Series StructureOpen Series PrizesGutted I can't make it that weekend!

Wow...just looked at the details and the event capacity is 512 players!!!
The UK Nationals were at Games Expo last three years running (132 players last year)...This is an enormous event!
I have tickets to Games Expo and two nights booked up there already.
Was going to go the Armada event but this looks very interesting....
Looks like they have listened to feedback about tickets selling out in an hour last year.
Only downside is I'm already going to Celebration 2016 with my son and would rather not spend the time playing Xwing (not that I'd top the Yavin event or anything like that ; )
