Here are the rules:

Everyone brings two lists, one Imperial and one Rebel. Each list will be comprised of ships seen only in the Original Trilogy movies. Why two lists you ask? Well, that’s because same faction match-ups are not permitted! No more Soontir vs Soontir or Luke vs Luke, it’s going to be the good guys vs the bad guys like in the movies.

Legal Ships:

Rebels

X-Wing
Y-Wing
B-Wing
A-Wing
YT-1300

Imperials

TIE Fighter
TIE Interceptor
TIE Advanced
TIE Bomber
Lambda Shuttle
Firespray

Any upgrade cards are permitted except Palpatine and TLT’s. The idea behind this ban is to move away from Meta lists and encourage more variety on the table.

Update: Palpatine has been errata’d and is now permitted for this tournament format.



The only other ban is the “double falcon” list, or two named Falcon pilots in the same list. So Chewie and Lando both flying their own cloned Falcon at the same time on the same table, is not going to happen here.



The idea behind this tourney is that each gaming table will have a battle that looks like something out of the original movies. As a side note, if you’re going to bring your Falcon, bring the one with a round sonar dish! 🙂

We do understand that there can be lists with Wedge and BB-8 flying together, or other non-thematic combos, but the ships on the table will look like a real old school Star Wars dogfight, and that’s what we’re going for. Personally I’m pumped to play this way!

To determine which opponent flies what, we’re keeping it pretty simple.

First round pairings are random. The Player with the lowest total initiative gets to pick which list he plays (add the two lists together, lowest combined squad points has initiative). Remember, same faction match-ups are not allowed.

In the following rounds, the lower seeded player picks which list he will fly.
