Reviving National Events for DBA.
Here is my initial proposal for reviving national events for DBA.
National Championship
Decided by a National Invitational Tournament (NICT).
By invitation based on:
Tournament Results:
4 Players = Winner
8 Players = Winner; 2nd place
12+ Players = Winner; 2nd place; 3rd place
(Tournament results must be reported to me by director with name and contact information for invitees.)
Prior winners of NICT.
Czar invitation (generally for foreign visitors etc.).
Tournament played at Historicon with invitation year running for Historicon to Historicon. Played using latest version of DBA rules plus FAQ.
National DBA Cup
Decided by overall tournament performance for a tournament season (Historicon to Historicon).
Points Awarded:
Winner of tournament gets points equal to participants.
2nd place gets points equal to half the number of participants.
Participating in a tournament but not finishing 1st or 2nd = 1 point.
Being on winning team in a Big Battle game or historical battle = 3 points.
Being on losing team in a Big Battle game or historical battle = 1 point.
(Tournament/battle results must be reported to me by director with name and contact information for all players.)
Cup awarded at Historicon but you need not be present to win since the whole idea is to offer a yearly award that you can win without having to haul yourself to Historicon. It’s also aimed at increasing participation in DBA events around the country.
Regional/Club House Cup
Awarded to most active Region (HMG) or Club based on games run and participants.
Points Awarded:
Number of players in a tournament run by your Region or Club.
Number of players in a Big Battle game/tournament run by your Region or Club.
Number of new players at a “newbie” event run by Region/Club.
Having a Regional Duke who actually reports to me = 5 points.
Publicizing your events = variable. (So if you do a nice announcement for your event on the Miniature Page and then follow up with pictures and recap, you’ll probably see me post a “10 points for HMGX!” message.)
All of above just a proposal. Feedback welcome.
