Patrol tournaments will be run on a daily basis. Winners will be recognised in Captains Log, the regular SFB product issued by Amarillo Design Bureau Inc.!
There is no set time to register for the Patrol Tournaments - you can come at any time and play as many games as you like. All you need to do is turn up at the judge's desk! To register your interest before the convention, contact Marc Taylor.
The 'main' patrol tournament will run from Friday through Sunday, at which point the four players with the highest 'net kills' and the four players with the highest '% wins' who have not qualified for the Rated Ace tournament final eight will be selected for three rounds of single elimination on Monday to determine the Patrol champion.
