Due to Covid our Tri State Con was cancelled over Labor Day Weekend, so we have decided to try a VASL Tournament instead. We will do 3-5 rounds with weekly turns for each round. We will use the new AREA ratings on the new site from Doug Rimmer- http://asl-ratings.org. to make pairings. Prizes will be $100 for 1st[ or next product from MMP/BFP], $75 2nd, $50 3rd. and there will be prizes for the usual snakes, boxcars and snipers. There is no entry fee. To make things run as smooth as possible we recommend you use VASSAL 3.2.17 and VASL 6.5 or 6.51 as there are problems with some of the newer versions, with Skype or Discord. Please respond by Oct. 20th to get in. Please reply to this or send me a snail mail at hegdahlb@sio.midco.net. Scenario list will be coming soon. We will have the scenarios built on VASL ahead of time and provide the scenario card if necessary.

Attached is our scenario list for the Street Fighting USA/Canada VASL tourney, not just in the mid-west. We are hoping for 16-24 players, with 14 signed up so far. We will be using the same format a Carl N posted earlier on this page. Each round will have 5 scenarios, each player picks their 3 favorites along with side they want to play and send it to the TD for pairing up scenario/sides. We will use the latest AREA ratings to determine pairings from the new Doug Rimmer site [our system is like the NCAA uses in March Madness]. We will have a week to do each round, looks like 4-5 rounds starting 1st. week in Nov. There is still 10 days left to enter. Again there is NO entry fee, we have had a lot of support from many ASL vendors this year. See above post for e-mail address or reply to this for more info.

Our internet service has been acting up off and on this week. Think we are back to normal now Stew.

A Very Late AAR on our On Line Tourney
We had 22 participate and here are the final results with prizes:
1st-Rich Domovic $100
2nd- Dave Goldman -won the next BFP product (Coming Soon).
3rd - TIE between Paul Works and Paul Lauger, who split the $50
Consolation Champ -Paul Chamberland -3 scenario packs
Most Snakes-Rich Jenulis [21] scenario pack
Most Boxcars -Dave Mareske [28] scenario pack
Best sniper -Greg Rodgers [3 leaders met their doom 9-1/8-1/7-0 scenario pack
Sportsmanship Award -Dennis Dowd -scenario pack
Whats happening in 2021, we are working on having a FTF around Labor Day Weekend, worse case is we do another VASL online one... more coming on that.
I had a great time running this but had lots of help from Dennis Dowd and Carl N, Dave Mareske and many others.
