The Murphy Mania DBM tournament will be organised and umpired by Herman Hiddema. You can send him your army list by email at XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The most important tournament rules are specified below. As a general piece of advice: excessive play on small details in the rules and millimeter measurement tricks are frowned upon and will be ruled against. I don't care if you are right, I care about the effects it has on the normal flow of the battle, as well as on the enjoyment of the game by both players.
| Rules: DBM v3.0 with IWF clarifications |
|
Distances are metric (1 inch = 25 mm) unless both players agree otherwise. Weather and Time Of Day are played unless both players agree otherwise. Deployment: No funny stuff, use simple deployment plans and maps. |

1st round: Saturday, 10:15-13:15 2nd round: Saturday, 14:00-17:00 3rd round: Sunday, 10:15-13:15 4th round: Sunday, 14:00-17:00 The umpire will call end of game, at which time play immediately stops unless combat or shooting has begun (ie, the first dieroll has happened). In this case, combat will be completed. |
| System & Scoring: A swiss system will be used for matchups. Normal DBM points will be used for scoring |
| In case of a draw in scores, position will be determined by the result between the players in the draw. If this was a 5-5, position is determined by SOS points (Sum Opponents Scores). |
