ExTSR wrote in RPGA # R - 1 & #RPGA-2:The first use of R1 was at GenCon South in early 1981, along with "Eye of the Bog" (Shook) as the other RPGA premier event. (Good luck getting a copy of Bog; it was unfinished, run by the author, and never published.) The other official event there was Battle Royal (Blake & Mentzer), a 1e arena game using figures, a board, and terrain that changed every round.We ran Falx at two tables as an RPGA final round of GenCon East (Cherry Hill NJ).The two DMs were Bill Hoyer and Bill Fawcett, 6 players apiece.They used a lineprinter output from the TSR printer.The RPGA was just barely getting rolling, and we didn't start the signed prepubs until GenCon that year iirc.F

ExTSR wrote in RPGA # R - 1 & #RPGA-2:One addendum now: I think I ran a table m'self; don't recall for absolutely sure but it's probably. (Have a trace memory of saying my group didn't do very well.)
