Southern Double Skulls
Southern Double Skulls (SDS) is a two-day doubles tournament on 9th and 10th March 2024 (Adelaide Cup long weekend), playing 5 games of blood bowl (BB). Three games on the Saturday and two games on Sunday. Teams will play individual games of BB and combine their results to have a team score. Based on the team score you will be ranked accordingly and play against opposing teams of equal level. The intention for the tournament is to promote / encourage blood bowl team competitions while helping players develop and improve team strategies. This is a family friendly event and SDS expects all players will treat each other in a respectful and friendly manner.
If players do not have the option to participate as a team, please contact the tournament organiser and advise your interest to participate in the tournament. A register of single players will be taken in an attempt to arrange teams for single players prior to the tournament. These teams will remain together for the tournament.
Please see below for the tournament rules and guidelines.

SWISS MATCHUP
The tournament will use the Swiss method to pair up teams, round 1 will be randomised, with Swiss method used for all subsequent rounds. 1st place plays 2nd place, 3rd place will play 4th place, etc.
Individual match ups between teams will be determined by a dice roll off between the team captains. The highest score will choose either:

5: Players that fail to finish their match by the end of 2hrs 15min will loose a reroll for their next match. It is players responsibility to ensure their games finish on time.

POSITIONALS, STARS AND ADDITIONAL SKILLS
Coaches must make every effort to ensure their models identify the positions or Star Players that they represent. Positionals must be numbered and additional skills clearly defined.
Numbers alone should not be used to identify positions or additional skills. If your star blitzer has three additional skills, you need to ensure they are clearly identified as different to the other blitzers in your team.
Loom bands, coloured bases or 3d printed markers are options to identify players and additional skills. Common skill colours include Block (Blue), Guard (Green), Dodge (Yellow) etc.
Any coach can request their opponent clearly identify positionals, stars or additional skills by providing loom bands etc. Any issues should be reported to a judge.
