X-Wing Team USA vs Europe in Poland

Donation protected
X-Wing TMG first launched in 2012 and has since grown to be a one of FFG's most popular games among table top aficionados and Star Wars fans worldwide.   

For the first five years, USA dominated the X-Wing scene by winning all of the X-Wing World Championships held here in the USA.   However, for the past 3 years, players from Europe and Asia have made the trip and won the last three world championships on US soil.  Now, a group of veteran pilots from the USA have taken a stand and have stepped forward to take the fight abroad!    Team USA will travel to Kraków, Poland on August 20th and compete in the XTC which consists of 20 countries from Europe bringing their best pilots to declare national dominance of the European Continent.   This is followed by the individual European Championships which begin on August 23rd.,  All in all, we are looking for 21 matches in 4 days to bring home both the team and individual titles back to the USA.  But we need your help to make this dream (team) come true! 

For the members of Team USA, X-Wing has been a big part of our lives (and large share of our wallets) in part because we love the game, but above all, because we love the community.  

Finally, if we are able to reach our goal, we will have raised enough to also bring the Podcaster Supreme Dion Morales early to stream the entire 10 Swiss Games from the XTC for your viewing pleasure.  

We really thank you for any support you can provide in making this dream come true for us.  But for those who are able support us with the following amounts, we will provide the following

     $10         Team USA Picture and signed "Thank you" Post Card from Krakow, Poland
     $25         + Custom Alt Art Card (Random 2.0 alt art card from our personal supply)
     $50         +Team USA T-Shirt  (Shirt design not final yet) 

     $100      + your name printed on the Team USA T-Shirt as an official sponsor
     $250      + your Team USA shirt signed by all team members
     $500      + Swag item from the XTC or European Championships event (TBD swag items have not been finalized)

Your donations will go towards flights, hotels, tournament entry fees, shirts & bringing Gold Squadron to live stream the event!
