Do we have to bring anything?
No. Come as you are and we'll supply the building set and two tables.
How many people can be on a team at once?
Each team can have up to 10 members. If you need to substitute people from one day to the next, that's fine. You can even substitute people from one round to the next. The only rule is that once a round begins, you can only use the people on your roster for that specific match.
How is the building area set-up?
Each team will have two banquet-size tables to use that are adjacent to one another. It is recommended that you use one table for LEGO Star Destroyer parts and the other for building.
Exactly how does the tournament work?
The event is set up like the NCAA basketball tournament. There are two "regions" -- Sith and Jedi. The first day of tournament play (Friday, April 22) there will be a total of four matches. Two matches will pit Sith against Sith and two matches will pit Jedi against Jedi. But on Saturday, April 23rd, the real intense battles begin. There will be one match to determine the Sith semi-finalist and one match to determine the Jedi semi-finalist. And of course -- the ultimate duel caps off the tournament.
What time are the matches?
Friday, 10am Jedi 1 vs. 2 match
Friday, 1pm Sith 1 vs. 2 match
Friday, 4pm -- Jedi 3 vs. 4 match
Friday, 7pm -- Sith 3 vs. 4 match
Saturday, 10am -- Winners of Friday's 10am and 4pm matches
Saturday, 1pm -- Winners of Friday's 1pm and 7pm matches
Saturday, 4pm -- FINAL DUEL -- Jedi vs. Sith
What do we get?
Each member of your team (up to 10 people) will receive either a Sith or Jedi t-shirt. These one-of-a-kind tees are designed by LEGO's own Keith Malone. You also will receive one FREE LEGO Star Destroyer practice set that will be mailed to you so you'll have plenty of time to practice. The winning team will receive a single trophy, and each member of the winning team will receive a cool Darth Vader medallion.
Is there an age requirement?
For product safety reasons, team members should be above the age of five.
Crowds will be able to watch the competition which will be emceed with Star Wars music, etc. If you and some friends can muster the forces to do battle against Jedi or Sith, sign up now!
