The Campaign Against Cancer (CAC) is an X-Wing Miniatures
tournament played annually to help raise money for the St Jude Children’s Research Hospital and it could be the tournament for you!
This year the CAC event is May 18th and will take place in 30 cities simultaneously and internationally, including the USA, Germany and Australia. Their fundraising goal this year is to raise $45,000 among our expected 1200 participants.
How is the tournament played?
The Campaign Against Cancer is a competitive tournament played in a “pod format.” After registration, players will be divided into groups of 8 players each (as evenly as possible) and this will form a pod. The players within each pod will play 3 rounds of swiss play against only those other players assigned to his or her pod. Once round three is complete, all players will break for a lunch and at that time, the software will reorganize the pods. Upon returning for lunch, players will be assigned to a new pod with peers that performed similarly to him before the lunch break.
These new pods will be Division A, Division B, Division C, etc. Players will then play 3 more rounds of swiss within their pod. The winner of Division A will be the tournament champion, but the winners of Divisions B, C, D etc will also receive prizes for winning their divisions.
