HEROES 2021
Wed 21 - Sun 25 April
(Due to Covid-19, this will be confirmed in March 2021)
HEROES is an opportunity for ASLers to shake off the winter blues and get in some
ASL action in the UK.As normal the action starts on Thursday and continues through to Sunday so you can play in an
ASL tournament and/or play friendly games (or even try your hand at a campaign game if you can find an opponent).
The focus of the weekend will be the main tournament, in which players of like record are paired off to allow us to determine the winners. Depending on the numbers taking part, there will either be one round on Friday or two (one in the morning, the second in the evening, two more on Saturday, and a final round on Sunday morning, finishing around 2pm. Each round sees players choose from three carefully selected scenarios. Main tournament entrants are to be familiar with the rules through to the first half of Chapter G.
Don’t worry if you are a new player (someone who has only ever played five or fewer games against a live opponent), as several experienced players are on hand to play against who will be happy to assist you in learning the game - if there are sufficient numbers there will also be a special tournament based on the
ASL Starter Kit on Friday. There will never be a better time to try your hand at
ASL!
Remember, you can also drop in just for part of a day if you can't make it for the full weekend.
