X-Wing League Week 1 Results!

Week one of the Plus Ten to Awesome X-Wing League at Mercenary Market is done and boy what a great time!

Our league was evenly split evenly between Alliance and Empire.  We had

Paul Thomsen on the Rebel Alliance side and chose:
Garven Dreis
Biggs Darklighter
Tycho Celchu

Also fighting with the Rebels, Rick Roberts had a very straight forward list running:
Han Solo
Wedge Antilles

On the Imperial side we had John and Nicole Deshazer (with the very special help of pea in the pod Haley!)

Nicole chose:
Boba Fett
Winged Gundark
Mauler Mithel
Academy Pilot

John went with:
Darth Vader
Turr Phennir

Here are how all three rounds broke down:

Plus Ten to AWESOME! Presents the first seasonal X-Wing League!

The +X2A crew will be running two X-Wing Leagues starting this month.  It will kick off at the Monstore (sorry about the Yelp link but their website is temporarily down)  in Montclair California on Saturday April 13^th starting at 4 p.m. On Sunday April 21^st the second League will start at Mercenary Market in Costa Mesa California starting at 2 p.m.

The first two weeks of each League will be dedicated to open play and demos run by the +X2A crew in order to familiarize people with game play and get them on the right track to League victory.

Then on the 27^th for the Monstore League and on Cinco De Mayo (May 5^th for those of you who do not habla espaňol) for the Mercenary Market we will begin full League Play.

League Play will consist of 5 weeks of Swiss style tournament play with winners announced each week. Then on the 6^th week, top Match Score earners will go head to head in a single elimination tournament to crown the Plus Ten to AWESOME X-Wing League winner.

Once both stores have a winner, we will organize a match between the two champions to crown the overall X-Wing League Champion!

This League is open to anyone, but does require each player to own a base boxed set and should be able to field a squadron near 100pts following standard league play rules (see link above). If you are in the OC or IE areas of Southern Cali, come on down and check it out!
