    I realized after I posted that elite slots on Y-Wings were rarer than hen's teeth. Hence the edit. I then tried to do exactly what you suggested with Dutch and Horton, but then got lazy and distracted by a shiny object.

    I always use the cheapest shipping option and even with processing delays, I get my stuff in less than a week every single time. Case in point, I placed an order last Friday, they had a 2 day delay in processing my order due to high volumes of orders (it was during a sale) and it will STILL be here by tomorrow (6 days).

    I've played this squad with some success.  The 3 green's really helps to keep these guys a threat at all ranges and the prince is the heavy hitter passing off damage to the sponges.

     

    Prince Xizor (31)
    Advanced Sensors (3)
    Autothrusters (2)
    Virago (1)
     
    Syndicate Thug (18)
    Autoblaster Turret (2)
    Unhinged Astromech (1)
     
    Syndicate Thug (18)
    Autoblaster Turret (2)
    Unhinged Astromech (1)
     
    Syndicate Thug (18)
    Autoblaster Turret (2)
    Unhinged Astromech (1)
     
    Total: 100

     

     

    I flew this list in a store tourney, swapping Kavil + Blaster Turret + Agromech + Engine Upgrade + Push the Limit instead of Xizor. Range 1-2 4-dice target locked turret shots? Yes please!

    This was my first store championship and my first time ever playing X-Wing in the area. I don't personally know any of the players nor the TO, and I'm not very well versed in how pairings and scoring and such are supposed to work. All I can speak to is the 4th point, about the final 4 pairing. I have no idea where I was ranked in the final 4, but I had played and beaten 2 of the other 3 in the top 4, and I played (and lost to) the only other top 4 player. That might explain the pairings, so I wouldn't play the same guy twice? I dunno. 

     

    Everyone I met seemed pretty nice, including the TO (who did run proxies, now that I think about it, so I guess I can speak to 2 points). I had a good time, and I am kinda bummed to see all the hard feelings this event has produced. I don't know if the TO knows the store owner, but I've been shopping at that store for years and the owner is a super-nice guy, and I don't think he deserves any heat for how things went down.

     

     

    I would like to point out that despite everything, I still had a good time overall and the vast majority of the people there were very nice and fun to play with.

     

    I'm glad to hear that you've had good experiences with the store in the past, and I'd certainly give the store another shot if there was a more experienced TO running things.

     

    Also, congrats on top 4! That was a nasty list to fly against :)

     

     

     

    Thanks! I hope to be able to make a few more events in the future. Hopefully I'll see you there!

    I recommend reading my post as well. The TO did far more to manipulate things than just what the OP pointed out.

    That said, I completely understand why TOs should be allowed to play, but when they have free reign and take advantage of it like this it's completely unacceptable.

     

    I did read your post.

     

    I still think the problem is with the TO, not with the rules. You've stated yourself that the TO did things that are specifically forbidden in the current rules:

    • He used proxy cards
    • He seems to have screwed with the pairings during Swiss rounds
    • He changed the number of swiss rounds mid-tourney
    • He had 1st play 2nd and 3rd play 4th in the championship bracket

    He's already doing stuff that's explicitly against the rules. How would having more rules stop him from breaking them?

    Jerks will be jerks, no matter what the rules are.

     

     

    Any decent, self-respecting TO will have the rankings after each round available for people to verify everything was entered correctly. This stops the TO from playing with the pairings for the Swiss rounds. I suppose this could be put in the rules, but I don't think that would've stopped your TO from disregarding that rule as well.

    I just placed 3rd in my first ever Store Championship with an all Y-wing Scum list. Syndicate Thug+Unhinged Astromech+Autoblaster Turret + BTL-A4 x 3 and Kavil+Push the Limit+Engine Upgrade+Blaster Turret+R4 Agromech. Kavil rolling 4 Target Locked dice at range 1-2 every turn was surprisingly effective, and while it was hard to get range 1 in-arc shots with the Thugs, when I did it was absolutely brutal. And the Unhinged Astromechs really opened up the Y-Wing dial and allowed me to ignore stress as I zipped around the board.
