After looking at the forums for a bit of research, I found an interesting idea for the next league series. James has indicated that you will only be able to use one ship from your previous build each week. This might put a strain on some players due to a lack of ships. So I am proposing instead: you cant use the same Elite pilot more than once for the league matches. This means if you use Wedge or Vader your first week you can not use them again, until the next league series. This results in the same effect that James was hoping for: a change in lists each week. This could also be for the rules for 3rd league. |

Yeah but the point of the of the 1 ship a week was supposed to thwart people from flying 4 no name B wings or 3 no name jumpmasters etc. every week all league?

It's a great idea with named pilot. It also it could be a problem for new players. so keep throwing out the ideas
Thanks

The point of running only 1 of the same ship each week is to entice innovation in each player’s build per week. We all know that 3 U boats (Jumpmasters) or 4 B wings are the Meta power builds. But if that was all anybody used it really wouldn’t be a fun game it would just be a joust fest with the dice deciding who the best player is.!?!?!?
I’d love to see a different faction every week rule but that wouldn’t be fair to the players on a limited budget. James’s rule of only one of the same ship creates a great balance in the force. You have to be an innovative pilot without breaking the bank. As the club goes I can’t think of any player that wouldn’t let another player borrow a ship or card here and there for
a Tuesday night league/tournament game if they really needed them.

Well put Byron couldn't have said it better myself. We all know anyone can borrow my stuff.
Again we will be running another 10 week league. It will still cost 2 dollars. Which you can use at anytime for store credit.
There will also be a few league rule changes.
1- Good sportmanship will be used at all times. If you are winning be a good winner if you are using be a good loser. We are all adults here we don't want any sore losers, this is star wars x-wing we will all lose games no matter how good we think are builds are. For it's still a dice game and we have all seen the dice go cold.
2-There will be 1 league game per person per week. Any other games in a night will be for fun or practice unless you need to make up a game then you must work out a rematch game with the
opponent you were suppose to play. Please no more extra league games in the same night again unless it's a rematch or you know you can't make it on the night you and your opponent were suppose to play. I had a very hard time trying to finish up the 1st league matches. So because of this you may play the same opponent twice during the league.
3- YOU CAN NOT USE THE SAME BUILD TWICE IN A ROW. You may not use more than 1 ship from the week before. This rule may change of course if you guys don't like it. We will put it up for a vote. The idea behind it is to stop players(mostly myself) from building the powerful meta builds every week and giving everyone a fare chance of winning.
4- We will be adding a time limit to each game. The time for each game will be 90 Max plus finishing the round you are on. So if you win by 13 or more points you get 5 points. If you win by 12 points or less you get a modified win of 3 points. If the game ends in a draw each player gets 1 point. As always you get tie breaker points. which only the winner gets these points. Tie breaker points are what ever points you have left on the board. Just a reminder about points for large ships, if the opponent does 1/2 damage to this ship then you score only 1/2 points for your ship. "1/2 damage to large ship only counts if you at some point the large ship takes 1/2 damage of the total points to the ships hull and shield combined, once you hit this goal they get half credit even if they can rebuild all there shield etc. so again 1/2 damage counts as long as you do reach 1/2 damage before they regain shields. For if they gain shields back before you can do 1/2 they get full credit for there ship.
Also there could be a time limit placed at time of dial phase. For I find it unfair if some one is winning or afraid if losing a ship could could cost them the game and try to kill time by going super slow at the dial part of the game. It should take no more than a couple of minutes to figure out where you want to fly, ex-special in the beginning start of the game for you are mostly going strait ahead. When ships get into the middle of each other it could take a minute or too longer.Yet it shouldn't take more then 6 to 7 minutes unless you have 6 or 7 ships. So be considerate of your opponents.
5-We do have some players that are not in the league for one reason or another. If playing some of these players (aka. Tim, Rich and Mark, etc) it will count as a league game unless they are new to the game.
If you have any question or comments please post them or ask me anytime.
Thank you very much
James
Good luck to you all and may the force be with you
