At the beginning of 2003, we decided to hold regular DBA tornaments as an excuse to get us all in together on a more frequent basis, and also to invite nearby clubs to join in. A small trophy was bought to be held by the "title holder".
It was decided to do three DBA Events a year, with a theme to be selected by the previous event's winner. To give a guide for selecting themes, it was decided that a century and (optionally) a geographical area would be suitable. Initially, to add some variety, in any one year we have one BC theme, one First Millenium AD theme, and one Second Millenium AD theme.
However, in 2004 we decided to add a fourth Event. For 2004 we tried having one as DBR Minis instead but from 2005 we decided on four DBA Events, with the four army list sections providing guides for the theme centuries. We also decided to award an additional Junior prize whenever a significant number of young entrants attended.
As for 2006 and 2007, in 2008 there will be two prizes at each event. In addition to the Junior prize, the overall winner will be also be awarded a prize. The entry fee is again £5 for seniors and £3 for juniors, payable on the day.
There will also be a Special Prize awarded at the end of the year
to the Junior Player who performs best in the Senior Playoffs throughout the
year.
The next DBA Event is scheduled for Saturday June 7th 2008, at the Southsea Community Centre, starting at 2pm. (Click here for a map of where to find it.)
The theme is "Brennus' Day Out" (Armies and Enemies of the Galatians in the Third Century BC). The rules for that event and a list of allowed armies can be found by clicking here. Although there is no need to pre-enter, if you are interested in attending the next event, please let us know. (You can email the secretary at paws_sec@yahoo.co.uk )
The following DBA Event is scheduled for 27th September 2008. The theme will be selected by the June Event's winner, and so it has not yet been decided exactly what it will be beyond it being a Section 3 theme.
