Format:
Any army from any of the DBMM army list books can be used. No army may exceed 400AP.

The competition shall be held over 2 rounds. Game length will be 3 1/2 hours with up to an additional 15 minutes at the end of each round decided randomly. Blitz will _not_ be played.

Rules:

  • Rules: DBMM v2.0 will be used with the current version of the Commentary (14 Jan 2012)
  • Any army from any of the DBMM army list books can be used. No army may exceed 400AP.
  • Players must bring their own terrain, base-mats will be provided.
  • Games will end immediately (whistle stop) when the umpire calls time. Roll no more dice, move no more troops and proceed to the end of the bound evaluation of commands breaking/disheartening etc and then calculate the final scores,
  • If both players agree then the weather and time of day rules may be ignored.
  • There will be a non-playing umpire who will only play against the bottom of the draw if there is an uneven number of players.
  • In the case of a draw in VP for a place on the podium, players will be separated by result in a common game, then by sum of opponents scores, then by maximum number of 25-0 results, then by the drawing of lots.
  • The draw will be a seeded swiss based on the current DBMM glicko ratings (http://www.dbmm.org.uk/rankings/). As far as possible, no players from the same region will be drawn against each other in the first round.
  • No traveling player will be asked to take a bye.
  • As we will only have 2 rounds, bye games will be scored on the actual result achieved, i.e. they will not be an automatic 25-0.
