DA-MATH CONTEST GUIDELINES

MECHANICS
1. The competition is open to all junior and senior high school students of CDSFJ who will be grouped
according to their grade level.
2. Each year level must have ONE participant.
3. Each player must bring their own Damath Board with red and blue chips.
4. The players will be divided into 4 brackets and will play the game following the single round robin. After
the first round, top 2 of each bracket will proceed to the second round and will follow again a single
round robin. Top 2 of the second round will proceed to the third round and will follow the cross over
format. And then, winners of the cross over will fight for the championship and losers will battle for the
third place.
5. Toss a coin will be done to determine which player will have the first “move”.
6. The player who will make a move will do first the recording before moving the chip.
7. Moving a chip means sliding it diagonally in the forward direction only except when taking an
opponent’s chip or if a ‘dama’ chip takes an opponent’s chip.
8. The two players alternately take turns in moving a chip (pass is not allowed). A player who touches a
chip (“touch move”) is required to move unless it is not possible to do so. After each ‘move’, a player
has to record his or her ‘move’ in a scoresheet (only one scoresheet will be used by the two players).
9. Each player is allotted one minute per ‘move’ including the recording of the ‘move’ and the
corresponding score in the scoresheet. In taking an opponent’s chip, the ‘taker’ chip jumps over the
‘taken’ chip and uses any of the four operation symbols of +, -, x, and -:- where the taker chip lands.
10. A chip is declared “dama” if it stops in any of the following squares of the opposing player: (1,0) (3,0)
(5,0) (7,0). Similarly, the opposing player’s chip is declared ‘dama’ if it stops in any of the following
squares: (0,7) (2,7) (4,7) (6,7). A ‘dama’ chip can slide diagonally forward or backward in any
unoccupied square as long as no opponent’s chop blocks its path. It could take a chip or chips whereby
its corresponding sum, difference, product, or quotient is doubled. Similarly, if an ordinary chip takes an
opponents ‘dama’ chip, its score is also doubled. Correspondingly, if a ‘dama’ chip takes an opponent’s
‘dama’ chip, then its score is quadrupled. A ‘taker’ chip can take one chip or more than one chips with
the required option to take the greater number of chips. Between “a ‘dama’ chip taking an opponent’s
chip” and “a chip taking taking an opponent’s chip”, the former prevails. A ‘taker’ or ‘taken dama’ chip
should be identified by encircling it in the scoresheet.
11. There will be 5 minutes interval every game.
12. The player who will commit two violations will lose the game.
13. Violations includes incorrect entry of the score sheets, more than one minute in recording or doing a
move, or any act that would be detrimental to the smooth conduct of the game.
14. Only the player can raise questions/protest and must be done before the next game will be played.
15. The game ends if the 20-minute game period lapsed; the moves are repetitive; a player has no more
chips to move; an opponent’s chip is ‘concerned’.
16. The remaining chip or chips of the players are to be added to their respective scores. If the remaining
chip is a ‘dama’, then its score is also doubled.
17. The player with the greater accumulated total score wins the game.
