The judge of each individual tournament may modify those skills to help expedite the game. Because certain types of equipment consistently bog down BattleTech games, those equipment types cannot be used in tournament play. All other Special Case rules that apply directly to BattleMech combat, and fall within the rules of the individual tournament, can be used. Players may not use sheet protectors and grease markers. Sheets should be marked legibly so that the judges may review the record sheets if necessary.
Opponents have the right to view each other's record sheets.
Players must use standard D6 dice when playing tournaments. No specialty dice, such as The Armory's BattleTech dice, will be allowed. Additionally, the judges have permission to disallow ALL players dice and supply dice to all players. Each player is required to bring his own materials. This includes dice, pencil, appropriate BattleMech record sheets, maps and any other material the player deems necessary to play BattleTech.
