RECREATIONAL MATH SOCIETY CLUB

DAMATH RULES

1. Set the starting positions of the chips. Each level has its own corresponding chips: Integers for Grade 7,
Rational for Grade 8, Radicals for Grade 9, and Polynomials for Grade 10 and Senior High School.
(Note: Mathematical operations must be covered by the chips.)

2. After the starting positions of the chips have been set, the first player is determined by drawing lots. The
illustrated board will be the official DaMath board for District and Division level competitions.

3. A chip is allowed to move diagonally forward only to adjoining vacant square.

4. A chip has to take the opponent’s chip diagonally forward or backward, thus, PASS is not allowed.
Mathematical operation (+,−, x , ÷) will be used where the taker chips landed.

5. In taking more than one chip, the taker chip is always the addend, minuend, multiplicand or dividend as
the case may be.

6. The two players alternately take turns in moving a chips. A player who touches a chip is required to
move. The game implements TOUCH MOVE policy.
7. In taking a chip or more than one chip, the dama rules on dama, mayor dama, mayor dalawa or tatlo,
mayor tatlo over dalawa, mayor dalawa or tatlo over dama prevail. When two dama chips will take the
same number of chips, it’s up for the player to decide which to move.

8. A chip is declared dama upon reaching terminally on any of the four squares on the first row of his
opponent.

9. A dama chip is allowed to take a chip or more than one chip, or move to any unoccupied square along
its diagonal path. Moreover, dama’s score is doubled in taking a chip or chips, and quadrupled if it takes
the opponent’s dama chip. (Note: Ordinary chip takes the opponent’s dama chip, the score is doubled.)

10. A player has to record his or her move in a score sheet (only one score sheet will be used by the two
players)

11. A “move” is good only at the most for one (1) minute including its corresponding entries in the score
sheet.

12. Each player is allotted one minute per move.


If in case a player did not finish writing the entries in the score sheet after 1 minute, the time will
be stopped by the arbiter.
A player can consume the whole minute in taking chip/s and writing the entries in the score sheet.

13. The game duration is twenty minutes only.

14. The game may end when any of the following situations occur:
• If no show of one player after ten (10) minutes.
• Repetitive moves of any or both players.
• A player resigns.
• A player’s chip is cornered.
• A player has no more chip to move.
• The 20-minute game duration ended.

15. If in case one of the players has to take his opponent’s chip/s and the 20-minute time is over, the game
will continue as long as there are still chips to be taken by both players.

16. Only one score sheet is allowed to be accomplished alternately by the two players, whereby, incorrect
entries shall be their responsibility. In case of incorrect entries in the score sheet, a player has to
immediately call the attention of the arbiter by raising one’s hand and timer should be paused. As
determined by the said arbiter, the appropriate corrections will be done by the erring player in as much
as the former’s decision is final and unappealable. (Arbiter will not give any comment unless asked by
the player.)

17. A player may lose his/her game for delaying the game twice. Warning shall be imposed by the arbiter
for the first offense. However, if a player committed any two offenses, his opponent will be
automatically declared as winner for that game only.

18. The remaining chips are to be added to their respective scores, dama chips is doubled.
The player with the greater accumulated total score wins the game.

19. The players will compute their own score and recheck by his opponent.

20. Only the contestant has the right to raise a protest during the game or before signing the score sheet.
(Trainers must be at least five (5) meters away from the play area.)

21. The players will affix their signatures below the score sheet after declaring the winner/loser.

22. In case two or more players have the same number of winnings, their previous games will be
considered. Whoever won in the games prevail (win over the other). If a winner cannot be determined
from these games, a 10-minute rematch shall be played.
