On June 15th the ultimate Star Wars challenge begins. Starting
on Saturday morning players from all over Northern California will participate
in a 18 hour long, duel to the finish. Imagine that, 18 straight
hours of intense Star Wars CCG play!
Let me tell you a little
about how the Enduro came about... Last year, I came up with the
concept of doing a tournament that would last not, 2, not 3, not even 4
rounds, but, 8 rounds. SIXTEEN games! It would be the appitome
of Star Wars CCG play. Not just your ordinary Star Wars tournament,
but, a grueling contest of not only skill, but, stamina.
Over the last couple
of months, I've discussed this idea with a Modesto tournament director
named Robert Selby. Robert was an old veteran of my early days as
Squadron Member for Northern California back in lat '97-'98. He took
to the idea like a bull dog and found a venue to hold the 16-18 hour long
event. We also hashed out the details on how it would be run.
Now, at last, the moment
of triumph is upon us! Now the true test of Star Wars CCG mettle
will begin. Prepare yourself for the Tournament experience of a lifetime!
Prepare to mark your place in history!
ENDURO!
The Enduro will be held
in Modesto at the Gauntlet on 930 11st St. Tournament registration
will begin at 11:00am we will do pairings at 11:30am. The Entrance
fee for the Enduro is $15 for the entire event or $5 per quarter.
The Enduro itself will
be comprised of four individual tournaments, each 2 rounds (4 games) long.
These individual tournaments will be called Enduro Quarters.
Each of these quarters will be a Sanctioned Tournament in and of themselves.
You will be required to follow normal tournament rules and regulations
during each of the Enduro Quarters. If you wish to only paricipate
in one quarter, you will be asked to pay the $5 entrance fee.
In between each quarter,
there will be a 30 minute interval. During this interval, you will
be allowed to change out cards in your decks, or even change out your entire
deck. You may change out any card(s) you wish, but, you may only
do this during this time interval. You may not change card(s) during
any of the quarters.
