What:: Netrunner FFG Store Championship
Where:: Holy Family Manor
When:: Saturday March 22nd, noon to 7pm


Decide the Fate of the Net
In Android: Netrunner, you and your opponent constantly vie for better information, the strongest economy, and the control of valuable data. Corps attempt to secure their business plans within massive servers, layered with lethal traps and formidable ice, while Runners seek to navigate these virtual labyrinths. Each cat-and-mouse game is full of bluffs and counter-bluffs, with vast, virtual fortunes and the well-being of millions of people at stake!

Soon, you’ll be able to take your game to the next level by participating in Android: Netrunner Store Championships. These prestigious, local tournaments kick off our 2014 tournament season. They’re also your chance to win custom prizes and advance deeper into our Regional Championship tournaments later in the year.

What Is a Store Championship?

Participation: Thirty-two full-bleed alternate art versions of Kati Jones

Event registration will start at 11am, tournament kicks-off promptly at noon.

  • Win = 2 Prestige points (per game)
  • Modified Win = 1 Prestige point (per game)

Official Sign-Up sheet info:

We will use the GASP Meetup site to organize the sign-ups for all the FFG Store Championship events.  A $5 pre-payment is required to sign-up, to hold one of the 32 spots.  The remaining $5 will be due the day of the event.

Want to reserve a spot for the Netrunner game, but I'd prefer cash in person.  Can I pay the $5 on Saturday?

Yes, you can make your $5 payment any time before the event, and cash at Games Day this weekend is fine.  I'll see what we need to do to get you RSVP'd on the Meetup site though, as I haven't done it yet with a cash payment.  I'm sure we can figure it out.

Thanks,

FYI: This is NOT the way the tournament scoring is run for netrunner any more.

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/android-netrunner/support/FAQ/Android-Netrunner%20Tournament%20Rules.pdf

It's now done on a 2 prestige points per game win... plus two more for the sweep of a round(2 wins).

I don't see anywhere in the tournament rules about getting an additional 2 Prestige for a sweep.  Page/paragraph reference please.

You would be correct.. I was misinformed/delusional.

I have about 6 people who are tentatively coming. I have been telling everyone at all the tournaments I have been going to lately about this. I think the turn out should be adequate to good.

That's what we strive for, adequate attendance :)
