RINIWA Cads Dishonour Roll (earlier DBM versions only) - at 13 April 2008 (post Celtic Championship 08)

The table below shows the player(s) who first used (ie the cad responsible for the fall from innocence of) each DBM army in a rated game in Ireland (pre DBM 3.1).

Some armies have not been used in a rated game (pre DBM 3.1). They appear in the separate Unused Armies List. There remain 179 intact armies.

The ratings data only started to be gathered a fair while after DBM commenced. Some armies may have been used prior to the first use indicated below. There is no easy way of determining exactly which armies fall into this category. I wished to avoid giving undue recognition to players who just happen to be the first users of popular armies after the commencement of the ratings.

In order to do so, any army that was used in the 17 rated tournaments prior to Leprecon DBM Competition 2002 are indicated by 'First used long ago'. This is arbitrary but no clever alternative has yet presented itself. There are 67 armies that fall into this category.

Where two players have simultaneously used the same army for its first time, both of their names appear in that army's entry. Please note that in determining simultaneity consideration is given to both the date of the army's first rated game and whether it was morning or afternoon.

Some players have distinguished themselves by their willingness to make first use of DBM armies. Those whose name appear 4 or more times below are:
Brian Bull (5), Richard Aynsley (5) and Michael Hession (4).

The number of games shown and average score are in total for each army not just the cad who first used it.

Players interested in the Top Dog Handicap should note that the current Top Dog rating of each army is also shown below.

This table is based on results from games played under versions of DBM prior to 3.1 ONLY.
