The International Dibs Protocol (IDP) main goal is to prevent conflict between
friends and family due to near-equal claims to an object of value. Nearly every conflict in
history has been because two people want one
thing.
Using the IDP, when 2 people want the same
thing, who ever calls “dibs” first get it. If one person is not finished pronouncing the “
s”
sound before another starts pronouncing the “d”
sound, it is considered a tie.
If a tie occurs, everyone who wanted that item must count aloud from 1 to 10. Even if 2 people called dibs, if a third person counts to ten first, the third person wins, even though the third person didn’t call dibs in the first place.
1. If two people arrive at ten at the same time, that is, one person says the “t” sound before the first person is finished the “n” sound, it is considered a tie. Only the people who tied are eligible for the next tiebreaker. A person that finished a whole “ten” behind the other 2 will not advance.
2. If the 2 people who tied in the last round are of legal drinking age, whoever bought the last round of
alcoholic beverages in a store or bar wins.
3. If a tie still occurs, whoever is taller wins. If there is not third person to judge, or if height is a difference of 1 cm or less, then the next tiebreaker shall be implemented.
4. Rock-
Paper-Scissors will be played, best 2 out of 3 to prevent winning by dumb luck.
