Gunslingers

There's no tournament this weekend, but that's in part so that we can prepare for the next two weeks which are both big events.

Next Saturday, July 16th, will be a Battletech Grand Melee using standard VWE rules which can be found here. Exceptions/addendums to those rules:

I.A. The rounds will be adjusted to fit the number of players who participate. If there are 16 or fewer players, everyone will get to play in the semi-finals.

I.A.2.a 1st place will be awarded 9 points.

III.A.9 Armor Mode will be ON.

III.B. Maps and conditions are as follows…
1. Round 1: Ghost Highway, Night, Light Fog
2. Round 2: Freezer, Day, Clear
3. Round 3 (semi-final): Palace Gates, Night, Heavy Fog
4. Round 4 (final): Coliseum, Day, Clear

VII.A. No pin will be awarded because we don't have any. A suitable position on the Risk map will be awarded instead.

The Grand Melee will serve as a warmup for the year's big event - GUNSLINGERS. Please note that due to a conflict, the date for Gunslingers has been moved up a week to Saturday, July 23rd. That's just 2 weeks away, so start practicing!

The first four rounds of Gunslingers will be the same as the first four rounds of the Grand Melee. In the event that this is not enough rounds, a 5th round will be added which will be Dust Bowl, Day, Light Fog. The VWE rules for Gunslingers can be found here. Exceptions/addendums to those rules:

I.2. This section is deleted. All missions will be one-on-one with no other 'Mechs on the battlefield.

III.A.9 Armor Mode will be ON.

III.B. Maps and conditions are as follows…
1. Round 1: Ghost Highway, Night, Light Fog
2. Round 2: Freezer, Day, Clear
3. Round 3: Palace Gates, Night, Heavy Fog
4. Round 4: Coliseum, Day, Clear
5. Round 5 (if needed): Dust Bowl, Day, Light Fog

VII.A. No pin will be awarded because we don't have any. A suitable position on the Risk map will be awarded instead.

So practice up, and we hope to see you for both big events! There may also be a special ceremony after Gunslingers, but you'll have to show up in order to find out what it is.
