The 29th version of Initech follows a similar format from the earlier 21st Polar Wars edition. A single-table will be used, but the focus for this tournament will be the Interstate maps for the third time in Initech history. All pertinent details are below. This Initech is flat/chained/foggy. And this one is a singles event with mixed disciplines (assassin/terminator/standard). I give you... Initech XIX: Interstate League!
