PAIRING PROCEDURE

In XTC 2022, factions are paired and not players. This is slightly different from XTC 2021 pairing procedures: the change is meant to accomodate the latest changes to the ruleset and  the introduction of scenarios.

​

See the tutorial below for detailed information.

​

To facilitate pairings procedures we suggest the use of a card for faction of the team, with the faction clearly stated on the card. These will be referred to as FACTIONS in the following paragraph.

Printable cards with the 7 factions will be posted online and available to all teams to download, customize and print. In addition, the organization will provide some additional digital copies to the captains.

​

Please remember that Factions should be paired and not players, to avoid confusion. The captain is responsible for pairing procedures but can consult with their teammates.

​

The X-wing 2.5 ruleset, Standard Format is played using scenarios. AMG has provided 4 scenarios for competitive events. Every round, a random scenario will be determined by tournament HQ following standard procedures.

​

In case of irregularities or controversies the Judge can intervene and, if necessary, allow one captain to decide one or more pairing/s by themselves as a penalty given to the opposing team. In the case of infractions from both teams, the Judge themselves will decide the pairings.
