We did ask this question on the Team Tournament survey (results of which should be tallied shortly). Given the toxic nature of 'competitive' 40K, we were curious to see where this would land amongst AdeptiCon attendees. Opinions outside the tournament/event are secondary to the event itself. The question was:

I would be willing to pay an additional $2-$5 for my Weekend Badge if AdeptiCon provided a brick of approved standardized dice to all attendees and required them to be used in all tournaments.

The problem is, this would require 1300+ bricks of dice (or roughly 50,000 dice) and would be a major monetary hurdle. On top of that...people are constantly losing stuff at the convention. The number of packets, counters, tokens that had to be replaced was staggering. So what do we do when 50 or more people lose their dice? Are they DQ'd from further competition? What would stop them from altering their dice in their hotel room? It's not a perfect solution, but I understand that it affords the illusion of a level playing field.

We have considered it a few times...it might happen, but chances are it won't. In the meantime, the Conduct Policy for our event will remain unchanged:

Dice: AdeptiCon does not require the use any specific type of dice, however your dice must ALWAYS be made available to your opponent to use if they so desire. AdeptiCon reserves the right to remove any dice showing excessive wear, obvious tampering or other questionable deformities.
