When: Sunday, March 13, 2005 from 12 pm until approximately 5 pm.
Where: Game Kastle in Santa Clara, CA. See below for address & directions.
Cost: $5
Format: 100 point Constructed.
Build a single 100 point squad using the normal squad construction rules. Choose a faction (Rebel, Imperial, Republic, or Separatist) and build a squad using characters from that faction. As usual, Fringe characters can be included in any squad. Even if your squad is comprised entirely of Fringe characters, you must still designate your squad as either Rebel, Imperial, Republic, or Separatist. Choose a single map as part of your squad.
Rounds: Approximately three to five swiss rounds, depending on the number of players. All rounds have a 60 minute time limit.
Prizes: Most of the entry fees will go toward prizes, which will all be put into a prize pool. The pool will contain at least one prize per player. The bulk of the prize pool will be brand new single minis from one or more boosters bought with the entry fees. The prize pool will also contain the contents of the March Star Wars Minis league kit. Depending on the number of players, the prize pool may also include one or more sealed boosters. The first place player gets to choose first from the prize pool, the second place player chooses second, and so on down to the last place player. Then prize selection begins again, this time starting with the last place player and moving to the first place player. (This means the last place player gets two selections in a row.) Continue this back and forth selection process until all prizes are gone.
