What a weekend! After powering through the drive on Friday night, we all arrived down in Canberra for a weekend of X-Wing! Our national tournament drew 53 players (WOW) from all corners of Australia. We met a great group of guys, and all had a blast. The full results haven’t been released yet, but they are coming soon for sure.
