DMM 2025: Program
Dear Mölkky players,
Welcome to the DMM 2025!
Below are a few notes.
Important: The game folder
Each team must pick up their individual game folder at the pavilion (with the monitor) on Saturday morning (9:00 am to 9:30 am)!
It contains:
- 4 to 6 self-adhesive name badges with your printed team name (Not to be used on leather, silk and velvet). If still necessary, please write your given names on them. Waterproofed felt-tip pens are available at the information desk. (All other pens smear over!)
The badges are for Saturday and Sunday, removing and sticking to another textile should be no problem. - Individual fixture list (schedule of games)
The list shows you against whom on which court at what time you will have a game.
Further you can use it for your run of the play. - Survey form
This time you can fill it out online, preferably during or after the DMM:

| This time we have plastic folders without stickers, but one with a label pocket, in the hope that you can use the folders elsewhere and not just throw them away. |
Behavior
We are guests at FSV:
| Please keep the sports facilities clean and use the existing rubbish bins and ashtrays. This year we have an extra (labeled) box for bottles and beer cans. Please use it for your empties that you don't want to take home with you. |
We would like to come back next year.
Notes for campers
Please pay attention to all tent pegs when dismantling the tents.
Every year we find a few which can destroy lawnmowers (has happened before).
Since the place is unlit at night, don't forget your flashlights!
Advice in case of severe weather and/or storm
In case of a thunderstorm, the safest place is a closed car, camper or the inside of a building. Also, for those who have not arrived by car. Thus, car owners should also offer other participants and guests shelter in their vehicle and draw attention to vacant spaces by flashing their warning lights. This way, everyone has a safe and dry place in case of an emergency. The club building is also available for such emergencies.
Tents, on the other hand, are basically anything but a good idea to protect yourself from thunder and lightning. Tents should be abandoned immediately and a sheltered area sought out. And don't forget to close all zippers! This increases the chances that the tent will remain in place even in heavy winds.
If you are in the open and do not have the possibility of a safe shelter, the organizer gives the following tips:
• Do not stay at the highest point of the terrain.
• Crouch down with your feet closed, keep feet and legs closed.
• Keep at least ten meters away from trees and one meter away from other people.
If there is a storm warning, the sports field should be left as quickly as possible or at least sufficient distance from structures and pavilions should be maintained. Despite all safety regulations and precautions, there is always residual risk. Caution is also advised in the vicinity of large trees, because of the danger of falling branches.
The instructions of the organization team (recognizable by the green vests) must be followed.

Course of the game
Preliminary rounds:
During the preliminary rounds each game court has its own clipboard with all corresponding fixture lists. Please provide the signed paper to the information desk after each game.
KO rounds:
The next game can be seen on the monitor. Please go to the information desk with the game number (above left) and pick up your relevant fixture list.
Other:
All courts are numbered. The game is not limited to the marked area; skittles can stand outside of the marking lines as well.
If there are any ambiguities, please contact one main referee.
Referees
One main referee (Walter) will help with tricky questions. If the teams will not come to an arrangement, just fetch the main referee who will make a decision.
As in all sports, a decision of the main referee is final, even if it should be a wrong decision!
We are looking for volunteers, who could act as a referee for the half-finals onwards. If you are interested, please come forward to the information desk and be subscribed as a referee for one of the final rounds.
Now you need to remember only the time and then you referee the game ;-)
We would appreciate any help!
We wish all teams a lot of fun and success!
Your DMM Team
