[Plainville MA] X-Wing Thursdays at Battleground!

[Chase]

There are a couple things that we want to reinforce this week for everyone coming in for X-Wing. Brian will be making an announcement on Thursday night for this stuff, but if you see or talk to one another between now and then please let each other know that:

1) Regional Championship Preregistration is up now, and tickets are selling at a steady clip. Do not wait till the last minute, or you risk not getting in!

2) The Spring Tourney is coming up at the end of April - The date, time, etc are at the link. No Preregistration needed.

3) The new FAQ goes into effect April 15th. It WILL be legal for the Spring Tourney and for Regionals. There are lots of changes, and players are expected to be aware of them.

- Phantoms work different
- You can bring different obstacles, and you are required to bring 3 to the tourney.

- Brian will be doing a demo NEXT week (4/9) for the Phantom changes, as they seem to have a bunch of folks confused.

Thanks guys!

Thursday nights are now my favorite.

I'll be at BG on Thursday looking to get my X-Wing on. Hoping to see everyone there.

What a great night of X-Wing! Thank you to everyone for coming down. We had 17 total players and the competition was fierce all through the store. I was very happy to see so many new tourney players, and I hope to see you all again soon.

Here are the Rankings for the night! Feel free to add some info about what list you flew, or any interesting games you played.

Just out of curiousity how is the MOV determined?

[commanderfrost]

Hello Loranus,

MOV (Margin of Victory) is outlined in the official Tournament Rules. You can find the entire Tourney Rules here:
https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/85/d2/85d248c5-2135-4ae7-9cc1-db4a04afdf22/x-wing_tournamentrules_v302.pdf

I HIGHLY recommend that all players read through the tourney rules, the rule book, and the FAQ! They are a fairly quick read, and make a world of difference.

From page 3: Margin of Victory

At the end of each match, the player who has destroyed more squad points adds the amount by which his score exceeds his opponent’s score to 100 and records it on his score sheet. The player who has destroyed fewer squad points subtracts the same amount from 100 and records it on his score sheet. End of match example: Anakin wins the game, destroying 53 squad points of his opponent’s ships. Anakin’s opponent, Biggs, has destroyed 24 points of Anakin’s ships. Anakin wins by 29 points, which he adds to 100 for a margin of 129. Biggs loses by 29 points, which he subtracts from 100 for a margin of 71. If a player destroys all of his opponent’s ships, his opponent’s squad is worth 100 squad points, even if it is worth fewer squad points to begin with. If both players destroy an identical number of squad points, each player receives a Margin of Victory of 100 points. If a player concedes the match, treat all of his remaining ships as destroyed.

At Battleground, we automate this process using the Cryodex tournament program. We ask players to report the points destroyed for each player. Once we enter those numbers into the system, everything is calculated automagically  , and double checked by the TO.

Cryodex is able to output the rankings we have above very easily, so you can see where you landed on the day.

I hope that clears things up!

[Loranus]

it does thank you very much. I will definitely read over the tournament rules before the tournament.
