The DBA Tournament returned for the first time since 2019, with a new champion – the two headed hydra of new members Mark N and Bob, both new to the club and the rules, who teamed up together because Bob had to go early and they thought it would be a good idea to team up to learn the ropes. Tournament organiser Dave S loaned them his Anglo-Norman army and after a shaky first round, they soon built up a head of steam.<\/p>\n

Three Knight and Heavy Chariot armies dominated the scoring leaving the other four trailing. Mike and Mark\/Bob both finished with 22 points each, however the Mark\/Bob pairing was declared the tournament winner. This was because there was an uneven number of entries and a “bye” result had to be awarded to those who had not participated in a given round. Before the start of the tournament, Dave made a ruling that in the event of tie for first place, that the non bye player would be awarded the trophy. As Mark\/Bob had not taken a bye, they were deemed to be the winning contestant(s).<\/p>\n

If there is one lesson Dave took away from the day, it is not to loan your Anglo-Norman Army to the newcomers !<\/p>\n
