Tournament dates and locations for the rest of 2023 and the start of 2024!
In addition to the many new events introduced to the Lightspeed Saber National event, there were, of course, the main events: The Women's Tournament and the Open Gender Advanced Tournament. The Women's event, with 10 strong members, matched the pre-pandemic numbers for the first time. Meanwhile, the Open Gender Advanced Competition had the highest number of A-level competitors ever in a single event, namely Rob Chan, Tony Zaldua, and Steve Perez. Additionally, the Women's champion, Jowanna Lewis, was sure to face stiff competition from the new ladies entering this year.
Lightspeed returned to Las Vegas in 2023 with a plethora of events and new formats, including two new team formats premiering at the national level for the first time. So let’s talk about Lightspeed Saber team Annihilation and team Skirmish (duet).
Hi Starbats! Here’s a few things I want you to know before Vegas this year!
I will be closing registration early, as we have reached capacity. So please get your registrations in by this 12:01 AM, Saturday, June 10. I realize that this is a change in schedule and an inconvenience. If you have any particular difficulty, please let me know. We’ll be as flexible as we can and we don’t want to leave anyone behind.
Lightspeed Saber League is introducing a gender policy to ensure that everyone is included in our sport and given the opportunity for fair competition with regard to gendered divisions.
An updated version of the tournament schedule that better reflects the second half of the 2022-23 tournament circuit is now up. Hooray!
After receiving some feedback from our staff, a critical change will be made to our ladder ranking system.
