Referees

Every player must have in mind that this kind of events are organized to play our favourite game and meet people different to the ones which we face each weekend. Findindg a Champion is a subproduct of this, and what we really seek is enjoying the game.

The rules are usually the greatest argument generator, so in case of disagreement the rules will be checked. If the rulebook does not cover this aspect, and the referees can't answer the problem, the situation will be solved by throwing a dice each player, the one who rolls highest will have the reason.

The length of the matches will be less than 2 hours. Organization can assign extra time depending on the schedule and other facts, but not as a general rule. Puntuality is required in order to fit the schedule, with the aforementioned penalties for the latecomers.

It is responsibility of both players to remember and control the following:
  • Really Stupid, Bonehead, Take Root... etc. obligatory rolls.
  • Check ilegal deploys, less/more than 11 players on the pitch, etc.

When a mistake is discovered, the player should "rewind" the subsequent movements and dice rolls to the point the mistake was made. All the rolls and moves are cancelled, so they should be rolled again and can be done in a different order. If the mistake is detected after gathering the miniatures after a TD or 8th/16th turn, is too late and the mistake must be ignored.

And of course, common sense should be applied in all arguments, as we are here to play our game.
