Star Wars Fall of the Empire IFPA Launch Party Tournament at The Maroon Door in Blacksburg! This will be a Fair Strikes knockout format qualifying with Amazing Race playoff.
We will play a 5-strike (or 7-strike depending on number of participants) knockout in groups of 3 or 4 (scored 0/1/2 or 0/1/1/2) until half the participants have been eliminated. The remaining top half will then proceed to the playoff.
