Main Provisions:
The main goal is to enjoy the tournament. A positive attitude and a healthy sporting atmosphere are highly encouraged. Inadequate behavior that harms the fun environment may result in penalties (e.g., foul points) or even disqualification of the coach (all subsequent games for that coach count as Conceded).
Painted teams are recommended. Artistic painting is not required; minimal painting and decorated bases are sufficient. If you don’t have a team, contact the organizers.
Each player should have their own dice, markers, and measuring tools (if possible). If not, contact the organizers.
Rosters will be publicly shared a few days before the tournament for review.
