BASIC RULES IN PLAYING SCI-DAMABasically, the rules in playing the Filipino check board game call dama will be used with some modifications in integratingMathematics and Science as follows:

1. Set the starting position of the chips.

2. After the starting position of the chips have been set, the first player is determined by drawing lots.

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

4. A chip has to take the opponents chip diagonally forward or backward, thus pass is not allowed. Mathematical operations (+, x, , -) will be used depending on the vacant squares operation symbol where the indicated mathematical operation and recording same in the score sheet).

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

6. In taking more than one chip, the dama rules on dama, mayor dalawa or tatlo, mayor tatlo over dalawa, mayor dama and mayor dalawa or tatlo over dama prevail.

7. A chip is declared dama upon reaching terminally on the following designated squares:For RED CHIPS:(0,7) (2,7)(4,7)(6,7)For BLUE CHIPS:(1,0)(3,0)(5,0)(7,0)

8. 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, a damas score is doubled in taking a chip or chips and quadrupled if it takes the opponents dama chip. Similarly, an ordinary chips score is doubled if it takes a dama chip.

9. A move [e.g. 2] (6,3) is good only at the most or one (1) minute including its corresponding entries in the score sheet, while the games duration is twenty (20) minutes.

10. The game end when any of the following situations occur:* If no show of one player is declared after 10 minutes.* Repetitive moves of any both players.* A player resigns.* A players chip is cornered.* A player has no more chips to move.The 20-minute game duration is ended.

11. The remaining chips have to be added to the respective players total scores.

13. Only one score sheet is allowed to be accomplished alternatively 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 competition facilitator (arbiter) by raising ones hand, that is after stopping the time. As determined by the said facilitator, the appropriate corrections will be done by erring player inasmuch as the formers decision is final and unappealable.

14. With end view of making this innovative activity globally effective SY 1999-2000 the Chess Swiss System will be adopted in the manner of conducting in the highest tradition the national level of Sci-Dama competition. This policy is in-line also with this Departments advocacy of the culture of excellence in Science and Mathematics.
