We are here at last!  We have 9 people which means we will do two groups of five.  The top two from each group will move onto the top 4.  Top 4 will be elimination style best of three, with the higher seed choosing which side to play in the 3rd game.  Throughout the round robin play you may switch up your decks, however they must be legal according to FFG's latest FAQ.  The Replacement cards are legal and you may print them out (putting it into a sleeve with another card )If you don't have any physical copies. If both you and your opponent want to play with 3rd party cards, its fine by me, however FFG printed cards will be standard.  We will shoot for finishing round robin play March 21, although that can be adjusted.  I recommend each group have a chat group either through Facebook messenger or another messenger app of your choice.  You'll play each person in your group twice, once for LS and once for DS in round robin play.  

 

What: Online Tourney for Star Wars LCG

If there are last second people who would like to join its fine by me. "MarioFanaticXV" I know you showed interest, unfortunately I don't think enough people have TTS to make it a viable option.  If your able to participate with Skype then I'd throw you in.  Let me know if you have any questions.  

Thanks and have fun.

Does this include Legends cards? If not we should probably allow them as I think it'll broaden the potential player count. Moreover that will allow for compatibility with the LCG Council sponsored League Play. Also, is there a limit to the number of replacements that can be inserted into a deck?

 

Regardless, I'm down for the tournament.

I'm not particularly familiar with legends cards which is why I made that judgment call.  I'd be happy to make the change so long as everyone has equal access to the cards.

And yes there is no limit to the number of replacement cards. And on that note, is there a pdf for the replacement cards?

I posted this tournament in the Facebook groups. It's possible we'll see more people in the next day or two ask to join.

Even if you don't include Legends, you can still get points in the League Play, just not the bonus for including 4 sets in the deck. I think they should be allowed, but probably on an individual basis, as not everyone has them.

I would love to join, although I just use skype. Let me know if this suits. Also I am a bit rusty. It has been a while

Sure thing! I’ll put you in group a for now.

[jollyroger]

I would really like to be part of this tournament. Right now i only play on skype but if it's easier for other people and not too hard to figure out i would be willing to try other platforms.

Don't forget to add RoyalAegis to a group as well.

This is true, feel free to submit games played to the league results still. League was purposefully structured to encourage playing games, so it’s great to see something like this happening.

Someone new to the forums (waiting for approval on their post still) is looking to join. Not sure what the username will be, but Jacob Lako has asked to be in the tournament.

Will do. also sorry @royalaegis

[Mitch2480]

I have updated the groups.  There are now 6 members per group, still planning on top 4.  This addition will probably add another week of round robin play, but shouldn't be a big deal.  If you could, post to your group showing availability.

Is Legends legal?

Where is their first post? I don't see any pending approval on the SWLCG boards. I can only see pending new threads, so if it's a reply to an existing thread I wouldn't see it.
