Dice & Equipment
You will of course need a team to participate in the event. There is no painting requirement, but efforts made in this area are appreciated.
Positionals and skills should however be clearly indicated and bases numbered to match your roster. Skills can be marked by base colour, skill rings etc.
In addition you should bring a pitch, dugout, templates, and dice
On the topic of dice:
• Agree what constitutes a cocked dice before the game begins.
• Make clear what each face of your dice means if they are not ‘standard’ ��
