Vassal OP, Q1 2021, 1-day Swiss Event (Sunday, 21st March)

It's time to find out who is the ultimate Vassal Armada 3-round Swiss Champion!

Format

For this 1-day event, there is a single Swiss group across all time zones!

  • Standard 400-points
  • 3 round Swiss
  • Each Swiss round runs for 2h 15min and then ends IMMEDIATELY.
    • You CANNOT start a new round if the timer has passed the 2h mark.
    • The current round is NOT played to completion when the time is called. Finish the current activation (ship or squadron), then hard stop and tally the score.
    • Report the result to the TO in the appropriate tourney channel or as a PM (Green Knight#5600) on Discord so pairings for the next round can be done in a timely fashion.

Schedule

Signup deadline: Midnight (GMT), Friday, 19th March.

Fleet submission deadline: 30 mins before the tournament starts,  10:00 am EST/14:00 GMT

The event takes place Sunday, 21st March.

  • Start round 1: 10:30 am EST/14:30 GMT
  • "Lunch" break: 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
  • Start round 2: 1:30 pm EST/17:30 GMT
  • Start round 3: 4:00 pm EST/20:00 GMT

Times adjusted for daylight savings (from the 14th in the US but not until the 28th in Europe).

Every effort has been made to ensure that people from all across the globe can play. West Coast players have to get up real early. CET players have to stay up a bit late. These are the best times I could find 😅

Fleet builder support 

Warlords has support for spoiled wave 10 content: http://armadawarlords.hivelabs.solutions/

  • The Venator-II is playable as shown. If we get the real version before the tourney, I'll replace it with the official version.
  • Hondo in Slave I has to be manually entered for non-Empire factions

I got a tip that Battlescribe has been updated. Kingston usually updates ASAP as soon as the wave is on the street.
