Breath Weapon Gaming firmly believes in the active judging style for all of our events. We want to ensure both players are having a great time and we want to assist in ensuring the games are played as close to the rules as possible. Keep in mind, a perfect game has never been played!

Absolutely. Active judging is the process where a judge walks around and actively monitors games. In the event they witness an action being carried out contrary to the rules (99% of the time by mistake) they will intervene on the game, apply a corrective action and ensure both players agree to the current game state before allowing them to proceed. This philosophy in judging serves to ensure that unrecognized mistakes don’t compound and alter the outcome of the game. These situations lead to feels bad situations for both players.

Don’t be! This absolutely why we ensure that judges are available to help navigate the complexities of the game. At any time there is disagreement between players on the current game state such as a distance to be measured, rules interaction, etc. you should feel 100% comfortable calling a judge over to adjudicate the interaction.

This will always be at the judge’s discretion and we plan on preparing a more comprehensive guidance sometime soon. However, examples could be yellow cards (without points deductions) for minor infractions, yellow cards (with points deductions) for more serious infractions and red cards.

We expect red cards to be very infrequent and they are reserved for players that consistently play incorrectly - with significant influence on the outcome of games - or players that have demonstrated aggressive behavior or who were found to be intentionally cheating.

Please Note - Breath Weapon Gaming will not tolerate any any aggressive behaviour towards event staff or other players. In the event a player is found displaying this type of behaviour they will be required to leave the event.
