Challenge Bout Registration
Challenge Registration will open for potential Challenge Captains in Spring.
*Please be aware that regular RollerCon attendees have lots of ways they keep track of their scrimmage teams. None of those are official! RollerCon will never ask you - and we DO NOT WANT you - to publicly post your contact info, not in a google doc, not on a messageboard. We recommend that you join our forum, put your contact info in your profile, where ONLY OTHER FORUM MEMBERS with specific permission sets can see it, then discuss your challenges in the threads there. Without posting any personal info.
IF YOU ARE A CAPTAIN, prepare yourself to register a Challenge:
- Familiarize yourself with the RollerCon Skating Eligibility Requirements, which all members of your team must meet.
- Determine who you’re going to play and challenge them.
- Collect skate name, legal name, and contact info for captains of both teams
- Decide on team theme and jersey colors for both teams
- Agree on a co-ed or single-sex team match-up
- Brush up on RollerCon Skater Skill Level Definitions and determine your team skill level range
- Recruit players for your team using our Forum. Enter your contact info in your profile. Do not post or request contact info in the forum posts! Exchange personal messages, instead.
Challenge Bout Info & Schedule
SCHEDULING CRITERIA & PRIORITIZATION
Single Period Challenges
- Challenges will be scheduled in the order they were received, taking the captains’ scheduling preferences into account.
- Higher skill level matches will be prioritized in higher-traffic hour slots
- All other things being equal, multi-year rivalries will be prioritized to hot slots, as well
Full Length, Sanctionable Lunch & Dinner Bouts
* Matches listed above with a star preceding the first team’s name are being considered for full length Bout Slots.
Here is the criteria for selection:
- Ranked Interleague matchups get #1 Priority, if any apply. **
- Advanced & Intermediate players are first priority, in that order. Home Bout & Beginners will not be scheduled for full-length bouts.
- Interesting matchups and long-running rivalries will be prioritized. For example: SeXY vs Awesome 2010 is our strongest “write in” for favorite event in our BPT & Volunteer polls so far; they’re 1st scheduled Lunch Bout (unless a Top 10 ranked interleague matchup applies)
- Scheduling: almost everyone wants Fri / Sat; so anyone that marked “any” or another day could get bumped up in the prioritization.
