Unless I missed a thread this hasn't been posted.

Here are the Star Wars Minis events at GenCon:
https://www.gencon.com/event_finder?ag=eo&ag=tn&ag=ma&ag=tw&category=Non-Historical+Miniatures&game=Star+Wars+Miniatures

Looks like there are 8 skirmish events:

Championships (200pts constructed)
Epic Fantastic 4 (4 characters, 250pts, exactly 1 character cost 85+, epics legal)
Tile Wars
Sealed (set 16)
Through the Ages (pre-constructed squads, new squad each round)
Team Tourney (200pts constructed)
Royal Rumble (3 dynamic duo pairs per player)
Intro & Casual Play (Not sure of the format, but you get some minis while you play)

And then 3 familiar special events:
Rakghoul Hunting
Death Race
Assassin

Plus some mass battles options:
Hoth
Geonosis
Clone Wars

Out of curiosity for those so far north that can't make it to Gencon, is there a breakdown about what each event has? Perhaps I could incorporate some into our Canadian play. Rakghoul hunting specifically sounds found haha

yeehar!
Star Wars Five Sabres Race; could this be the kick-up-the-behind vehicles in SWMinis needed?
pod racing is fun stuff, so starfighters for this will be interesting indeed.

If you go to the GenCon website, each event has a brief (1 to 3 sentence) description.

What events are you signing up for?

Here's my schedule:

Thursday:
2pm Championships

Friday:
9am Custom Star Wars Miniatures (cutting this one short to get to Epic Fan 4)
10am Epic Fantastic Four
3pm Tile Wars

Saturday:
2pm Battle Through the Ages
7pm Team Tourney

Sunday
10am Sealed

Note that Championships have only 16 tickets and only 7 available. Same thing for Sealed - 16 setas and 7 remaining. Most of the other skirmish events are 8 players and have between 6 and 4 tickets remaining each. Except for Intro & Casual Play - which has 16 seats but already only 1 ticket remaining.

I'm doing Championships this year. I haven't played in 2 years, but was excited to see the swm championships didn't fall on the same day as xwm championships this year.

It was sold out but is now un-sold out. Looks like someone released a ticket.
