Well, we played a double tourney today, using what I recall as Iron Man rules, where you cannot use the same figure in the two different squads, other than Uggies (hey, you know me!). We went with a 150 tourney, then led into a 100.
We had five players in all. I was hoping for more, but everyone else just had other obligations. Yeah, no kidding! Something more important than this! Oh, well. Chris Sherman (darthyoda44) came all the way from Branson, nearly a 1 1/2 drive to play, and that made it all worth while. We pooled enough money to have two packs for prizes, along with lots of promo maps, posters, counters, etc.
I can't remember what everyone ran, but I will run down what I remember.

Chris (darthyoda44)[spoiler="Squads"]150 Han Solo, Sc. Princess Leia Luke, LOTLS Lando, DS WFF 4 Uggies

So, we did three rounds at 150, and then just two at 100. The DCI reporting wasn't up and running there today, so we just wrote down who played who, and we will record it this week.
After we figured out who placed where, we went down the list to pick a prize. Then, after fifth place picked his first prize we went back up the list, so first place got to pick again 10th and 11th, and so on. The finishing order was Ray, Matt, Chris, Zack, Luke. I had a kid who has been very lucky in the past pick the LOTF pack, and I picked out the A&E pack. When it was all over, I opened the LOTF pack, looked through two pieces, and then found my first pick: Darth Caedus! The VR in the other pack was decent, too: Rampaging Wampa. We had so much fun all in all!
