—————————————-
UPDATE (April 17):

So with the release of the new tournament rules I should let everyone know that the Imagine Store Championship will be classified as a competitive event (see the definition below, it’s still very beginner friendly). It will still be a normal swiss style tournament of about 4 rounds as well. There’s a sign up sheet at the front counter of the store or feel free to call or message them to put your name on there. We’re up to 6 already with plenty of room for more!

Competitive Event:
Competitive events require players to have general knowledge of a game’s rules. While experienced players will come to these events to compete for prizes, players should not be punished for their lack of understanding in the finer points of Android: Netrunner rules. Players can come to these events expecting a consistent experience from store to store. This tier includes Store Championships and unique, one-off events such as the X-Wing™ Wave 4 Assault at Imdaar Alpha event or the Android: Netrunner Chronos Protocol Tour.

And of course, here’s a LINK to the new FAQ and Tournament rules, for everyone to peruse.

 OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT RULES:
Please see the Fantasy Flight Games site for their official tournament rules. In summary: we will be playing a Dogfight event, 100 point squads - players are required to supply their own ships, cards, dice, range ruler and maneuver templates (ship, base and card proxies are not allowed). The designated Tournament Organizer will review all squads prior to the tournament, and players will use that squad for the duration of the entire tournament. Tournament rounds will be 60 minutes. Depending on the number of players in the tournament, this will decide if we will play with a “championship bracket” (i.e. a final round with the top 2 or 4 point holders to determine a champion), otherwise the champion will be determined solely on points scored after a certain number of rounds.

PLEASE NOTE: The Imperial Aces packs are not legal in this tournament! Please make sure your squad does NOT include any of the ships/cards from the Imperial Aces pack.

As described the prizes above, the Store Champion will receive a certificate worth a first-round bye at the Regional Championship to be held right here in Winnipeg, at GameKnight Games & Cool Stuff! (date TBA).

Hope to see you out! And may the Force be with you!
