Great to see such a variety of DBA three games being played down in the south. Wish I could come down for all the action.

I wish I could attend… hope you have a great turnout…

If Bob will quit arguing against me, we should have the new update of the DBA FAQ out before then!

He knows he is wrong! Even when he agrees with me!

Just to hijack the thread a bit, I must say in my defense, I am no longer arguing about any rules. Phil says they are all self-evident. Each player will just know what is correct, like the boys in Professor Harold Hill's Boys Band just know how to play an instrument, you just Think it and you know it :)

Or each Tournament Organizer will just give a list of his preferred understandings of the self-evident rules. This is what is being done in UK.
