BattleTech Championship Circuit is a new set of rules for tournament play of both Classic BattleTech and Alpha Strike.  These are a brand new set of BattleTech Tournament rules being developed by the Catalyst Demo Team, to be used at primer events such as the Las Vegas Open and Atlantic City open.  In 2022, the first Classic BattleTech BTCC events were ran, and the team is hoping to run Alpha Strike BTCC events in 2023.  However, before the team runs AS BTCC at events such as ACO and LVO, they feel running something on a smaller and perhaps somewhat less competitive level would be a good idea.  While the BTCC system and rules were built by folks who have created similar systems for other games, and who have many years running tournaments across any number of different systems, there's always someone trying to outsmart them. So, I agreed to run an event here in Indy.

To that end and before the event, I do encourage you to attempt to try and break the rules, particularly the force building rules.  If you find something that appears to be game breaking, I encourage you to reach out to me via one of the methods listed below.  I am NOT encouraging you to bring these potentially game breaking things to the event.  

The Atmosphere I'm trying to create for this event is light-hearted, good natured competitiveness.  It is not a 'Serious-business' tournament with great prizes and such.  Its a chance to play against the folks you've played next to and against for the past few years in a new kind of event.  I will say, though, if we get big enough (20 people?) we'll try for some prizes, but we're not sure what we'll be able to swing.  There is a max size of 30 people for this event.

I hope you join us, I hope you have fun, and I hope you learn a thing or two about Alpha Strike along the way (I sure have, those force building rules are definitely not what I thought they were.)
