DBA Tournaments
All HMGS-South DBA tournament events are qualifiers to the North American Society of Ancient and Medieval War-Gamers Invitational Championship Tournament (NASAMW ICT or NICT.) This ‘Tournament of Champions’ is traditionally held at HMGS East’s annual Historicon game convention. You need not be a member of NASAMW to participate in these events but only members of NASAMW can qualify for their NICT tourney and win any prizes provided by that organization solely ‘for members only.’
The NASAMW DBA scoring system is used in all events. All events are typically four, one hour rounds so please arrive on time for the start of the event.
All prizes are solicited by the individual Tournament Organisers (contact them for further information.) Sponsorship inquiries are ALWAYS welcome.
See the game grid for exact time and location of these events:
