Last Update: May 2024
Before Your Match
- Introduce yourself, share your NAF/real name, and share your coaching likes and dislikes.
- Present your team, explain your players’ skills, and how you show that a mini has acted.
- Discuss and agree on what amount of ‘take backs’ are allowed.
- Present your dice, explain what any symbols mean, how you will consistently roll them and deal with any unclear, illegal and/or out-of-sequence rolls.
- Sharing dice when asked is a NAF rule! The tournament organiser will provide neutral dice if needed.
During Your Match
- Do not complain about dice, do not throw tantrums and be humble if your dice are great.
- Be honest. Remind your opponent about rules they may have forgotten (e.g. rolling armour).
- Explain your actions clearly. Avoid confusion.
- Avoid profanity and/or aggressive language, behaviour and attitudes unless you have made sure it is okay with your opponent.
- Try to stick to shared languages and not exclude your opponent verbally, including when discussing with teammates.
- Do not waste time trying to influence the result because it could be ruled as cheating. If you want to make sure about keeping time, use a chess clock.
- If a rules issue comes up, call a ref and respect the ref’s decision.
- At the end of the game, wish your opponent good luck the rest of the way!
During the Tournament
- Respect the organiser: Read the tournament rules, be on time, get a feel for the vibe of the event, introduce yourself, do not interfere with others’ matches and keep the venue clean.
- If alcohol is allowed, drink responsibly.
- Take full responsibility in getting your results to the tournament organiser.
