VASSAL OP 2022 Spring Team Tournament

Announcing the "Spring Team Tournament" VASSAL Organized Play event!

We had 2 team events in 2021 and both were very well received. This year we're doing something pretty close to standard Armada - but with teams.

Format

Players are grouped into teams:

  • Each team picks a single faction (Empire, Rebel, Republic, or Separatist).
  • There are 3 players per team.
  • Each team elects a "Grand Admiral" to be in charge of the team.

3 rounds of "team" Swiss:

  • It's the team's total score that determines the Swiss seed.
  • During the 1st round, each team will be paired within its time zone (if possible).
  • Rounds 2 & 3 are normal Swiss.

Winner:

The team with the most combined tourney points is the winner!

Schedule

Rounds will last 14 days.

Key dates:

  • Signup/fleet submission deadline: Sunday, 10th April. 
  • Round 1 starts Monday, 11th April.
  • Round 3 ends Sunday, 22nd May.

Listbuilding restrictions/rules tweaks

Standard Armada rules, with the following exceptions:

  • UNIQUE cards, including objectives, are unique within the team.
  • Grand Admirals are responsible for "battle pairings" within each team.

Battle pairing:

  • The GA of the team with the lower score (determine randomly round 1) decides if their side will put a fleet forward or of the opposing team will.
  • The opposing team decides which fleet will oppose the nominated fleet, then puts forward one of its remaining fleets.
  • Repeat until all fleets have been paired.
