Tournament director

Missing data

  • No preserved copy at the Internet Archive yet. Wayback Save Page Now returned error 520 for forum t=85488, no snapshot exists, and this account has no Internet Archive upload keys. The reference uses a wiki text copy of the opening post instead: File:SWCCG forum t85488 2025 Retro Gemp Match Play Championship.txt. An Internet Archive item (PDF of the thread) should be added when someone with keys can upload it.
  • The Players Committee results post does not name a director. The only source found is the forum announcement.

Possibly faulty data

  • The announcement's wording is "Tournament Organizer: Andy Talaga - if there are any disputes or technological issues, please report them to him". The same post refers to the "Tournament Director" for rulings without naming that person. The page says "Tournament director" per Bill Bisco and the wiki's convention for other events; the source's own label is "organizer".
  • The Forum link on this page pointed to forum f=1482, which is the 2024 Indianapolis Eclipse forum. Changed to f=1555, "2025 Retro GEMPC May-July".
  • All 30 decklist pages for this event and the 7 player Tournament Results rows showed the format as Open. Changed to Premiere - Death Star II, the event's format. The 16 decklist pages of 2025 Online Retro Event for Charity (format Premiere to Virtual Set 3) showed Open too and were corrected on 11 October 2026; see Talk:2025 Online Retro Event for Charity.

Marginal cuts

  • The announcement names a six-person Selection Committee that seeded the bracket: Andy Talaga, Steve Sanders, Geoff Bowman, Eddie Szwabowski, Paul Todd Feldman, Joe Horbey (forum t=85488).
  • Andy Talaga donated an uncut Jabba's Palace sheet and a Boba Fett XL deckbox as prizes (forum t=85496).

Build notes

  • Placement: one bullet in the Format list, right after Platform, so it sits with the other event facts and is easy to move. Other event pages (for example 2026 Boston Winter Classic) name the director in the lead sentence. Placement is open for Bill to decide.
  • Sources read: forum t=85488 (announcement, andytalaga1, 22 March 2025), t=85496 (prize support), t=85725 (Top 8 results, posted by the same account). Guest-visible pages fetched on 11 October 2026.
