FAQ:
Q: What is gunslinging?
A: In a gunslinging event you get to challenge someone like myself or Joe Manzo to a battle...win, and get a good prize fig. These are pick-up games and not a tournament in and of themselves per se.

Q: "Force Movement", ok?
A: We'll be using the 1 Tix = 1 Inch rule...if there is a problem, a judge will use another fig to remeasure the distance...full moves should be within one tix or so when remeasured.

Q: Is there anything nearby for my family to do while I'm playing?
A: Sure. There are plenty of places to eat, some nearby shopping and a movie theater. There are also some nice malls about 10 or 15 minutes away. Family members who are not participating are welcome to also observe the event and will not need to pay an entry fee.

Q: What does the entry fee cover?
A: All of the events for the day. I expect to have tons of prizes, including door prizes and random drawings. The fee will go towards paying for the cost of the event.

Q: Is there an age limit?
A: Absolutely not! If there are enough younger players, we will possibly run an Apprentice event alongside a Master event. We should also have some people on hand that can teach the game to new players.

Q: What if my figure is messed up or modified?
A: These will be case by case decided by judges. Simple mods like repainted lightsabers would be allowed for example.

Q: Who will judge the custom contest?
A: All attendees can vote on the custom contest. Customs could be repaints or hand crafted figs.

Q: If there is an age break, what will it be?
A: Probably 12 and under, 13 and up.
