Just like last time, we've got a fun and beginner-friendly tournament coming your way, if your way is Birmingham (or an adjacent region). We’re gonna be playing six rounds of Single Sided Swiss to determine who is the best Startup player in all of [insert relevant region here depending on turnout], but more importantly to have a lovely time with the latest set release.

It’s going to be very casual, so should be an ideal space for those of you who’ve played a few games and are looking for a friendly space for your first tournament.

Here are the details you need to know!

Location

We will be at Geek Retreat Birmingham (18b Hall St, Birmingham B18 6BS), which Google Maps says is a twenty minute walk from Birmingham New Street station or a short walk from St Pauls tram station. While it’s free to hire tables at the venue (the entry cost is solely to pay for prizes), they do not allow outside food and drink.

When you get there, go downstairs (that's where the tables are).

Timings and Format

The event is on Satuday 26th April with registration open at 11:00 and round 1 starting at 11:30. There will be a lunch break after round 2, there will be 6 rounds in total with each round lasting 40 mins.

Prize handouts at the shop.

If we get significantly fewer signups than expected, I may change the format - this will be communicated clearly on the day.

The tournament is in the Startup format, which means that cards from System Gateway, Elevation, The Automata Initiative and Rebellion Without Rehearsal will be legal.

!!!!! System Update 2021 WILL NOT BE LEGAL !!!!!

Prizes

Cards are all given out as playset of 3's.
