WORLD DIPCON III Results
Canberra, Australia, 25-27 January 1992
The third World Diplomacy Convention (also known as World Dipcon
or WDC) was held over the Australia Day long weekend, at the Canberra
RSL Club, Canberra. The main organizer and Tournament Director
was Luke Clutterbuck. He was assisted by Andrew England (scoring),
Frank Meerbach (Diplomacy draw and multi-player boardgames) and
John Cain (Diplomacy scoring and Diplomacy draw). A total of 78
people attended the tournament, including four from New Zealand,
two from France, two from the UK and one from Germany. There were
three tournaments: Individual Diplomacy, Team Diplomacy and Multi-player
Boardgames.
Individual Diplomacy Results
The Individual Tournament was held over three rounds, one on
each day. Deadlines for each session were set by the Tournament
Director and were the same for all boards. Play started at 9:30
am and continued until a time between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm, selected
prior to the start of play by the Tournament Director. This
was about 1910. The tournament was rated using the STAB III
system, which is designed to rate tournaments, particularly
where there is a time limit. A player's total score was the
sum of their scores for all rounds, divided by three.
1992 World Diplomacy Champion:
STEVE GOULD
Steve resides in Adelaide, Australia. He has indicated his
intention, circumstances permitting, to attend World Dipcon
IV, in Birmingham in 1994, to defend his title.
Team Diplomacy Results
The Team Tournament was held as part of the second round of
the Individual Tournament. Teams consisted of seven members,
who played on separate boards. Each team member played one of
the seven great powers of Diplomacy, so that the team as a whole
played all seven powers, removing the "luck" element of the
draw for countries which is present in the Individual Tournament.
The team's score was a total of the individual scores.
1992 Team Tournament Champions: SOUTHERN COMFORT
Southern Comfort consisted of Greg Jackson, Bill Brown (captain),
Robert Wessels, Ken Sproat, Shane Beck, Anthony Swinnerton and
Donald Shaw. All are from Victoria, Greg and Ken from the country
and the rest from Melbourne. Southern Comfort have stated their
intention to defend their title next year.
