FFG just made my wallet cry.
I wonder if FFG started a loyalty program where if you buy so much product they will help fund your divorce lawyer. 

I hope you're joking about this.

HOW TO PRE-REGISTER - add the desired event to your shopping cart, set for in store pick up, and that's it - you're good to go!

The store championship season is almost over, right?  We have a break after that, right?    Yeah, 40k is stealing a lot of thunder from the not so serious players.   
It can be hard, but you got to put the work in to build the casual games.  It can take a couple of months of effort before you really start to see some results.  
As it is now with HotAC, we sometimes hope to get just 3 of us to get a quick game in, but every time we start to play, it always ends up being 6 players.  Oh, it's fun, but it takes twice as long and gets brutal with so many enemy.  I almost wish someone else would print the game out and bring it every week so we could have two tables going.  I did get back to actually painting my 3D printed HotAC station and mines today.

There's two core types of players in the game, or in pretty much any game system. The standard beer & pretzels gamers who I'd guess make up about 70% to 80% of the community (in a random off the top of my head kind of number) and the balance who are hard-core tournament/competitive players who make up the balance. The minority of the player base generally is also the loudest group when it comes to talking/yelling/arguing about what's broken or off-balance. They're the ones who'll find the broken combos and exploit them to no end.

In my local FLGS community, we have never had as many excited and enthusiastic players as we do now. There's almost no one in the local group that will go to anything above a store championship. We have in the past, but we find that it's too intense, too much nerd testosterone, and too many people who'd rather win than have fun. So we just decided, without really any discussion, that we just simply don't bother going. We hold store championships, invite players who we know are much better from other nearby communities who we know will probably win the day. Instead, we host our own participatory tournaments with our own rules, and we have an amazing time. Sure, someone wins and someone loses, but it's not a cutthroat competition to be the best nerd pushing toy plastic spaceships around a map. It's just fun.

Fun. Try it some time. You may find it fun!

Still waiting to see what is up their sleeves

Only two jumpmasters (neither with mindlink) and one mindlink list in the top 4! We'll definitely have Rebel versus Scum rematch for the final! Nand threatening to defend his championship!
 
I've been very happy with the past two top fours. Now if only the Imps could make a better showing...

Battlefield in a Box does some Turbolasers:

Add Finn for 8
 

Absolutely the worst idea I have ever heard
 

I believe Paul's list is below per a post from the Gold Squadron Podcast:
Miranda Doni — K-Wing 29 Twin Laser Turret 6 Extra Munitions 2 Sabine Wren 2 Cluster Mines 4 Thermal Detonators 3 Advanced SLAM 2 Ship Total: 48     Biggs Darklighter — X-Wing 25 R4-D6 1 Integrated Astromech 0 Ship Total: 26     Gold Squadron Pilot — Y-Wing 18 Twin Laser Turret 6 R3-A2 2 BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0 Ship Total: 26

The Prototype Toronto League is throwing an X-wing party!
Join us for our first ever PTL Open, held on April 22-23 at the Legion (Branch 22) in Toronto near Woodbine and Danforth. Sponsored by Face to Face Games Toronto. Special thanks to VTTV.Live who will be webcasting the event live all weekend.
This weekend long X-Wing convention features a unique 6 round main event, and fun friendly side events, a math trade, and plenty of cool prizes for everyone!
The Prototype Toronto League is an X-wing league open to all players and all skill levels. We focus on friendly, community driven, sporting fun playing our favourite game! Our mission, as always with X-Wing, is to “Fly Casual” and have fun. We hope you will join us in April!
Main Event
100 Points squads, normal list building restrictions apply.
BUT
We are introducing a unique format for the main event:
In PTL's Meta bending fashion players will be asked to design and bring 3 different lists to play throughout the swiss rounds. You will not be forced to fly all three, but if a player does so, they will earn an extra match point in addition to their wins! None of the 3 lists can repeat a named pilot card.
There will be prizes for the top 16 players. They will be announced as part of the leadup to the event.
Prizes aren’t just for those who finish well. In the side events and from bounties on individuals or achievements PTL players have a chance to win new and old alternate art cards as well as other prizes yet to be announced!
Side events include - Hunger Games, Heroes of the Aturi Cluster, and X-wing Mario Kart!
More information will be made available for these exciting events as we get closer to the date! Stay tuned!
Registration:
The FIRST 30 people to register will receive a FREE acrylic range ruler. We ask that if you have an existing PTL Promo range ruler you save these for our guests or new members who don't!
All participants will receive a mixed set of 4 PTL upgrade and Pilot alt art cards.
A weekend pass is $35 and can be purchased from our store here:

As of Worlds 2015, FFG's software was incapable of telling who wins if the game is 100-100. It would treat it as a draw. The first time this mattered was with the Hounds Tooth title: if the Hound's Tooth Z-95 was the only thing left, then that player has clearly won, but both sides could have destroyed 100 points. Hence the addition of the 101-99 rule. Now it is actually a fairly common occurrence with Final Salvos, but I have no idea if their software has been updated, or how it handles this scenario. Cryodex can handle a 100-100 win, so we always just use that because it's better than FFG's software. 

Lol looking through the Ottawa lists someone got 3 wins with Dormits & 3 OGPs. That would be a hilarious start to the game. A wall of 3 sea cows backed by an Upsilon. Props to Jackie Luong.
