A new competition of mixed gender Modified-Contact Roller Derby Games called ‘The ModCon Challenge'!
The idea of the competition is to make Roller Derby in Victoria more accessible for all levels. Although this competition will be for people wanting to eventually reach ‘Full-Contact’ Bouting level, it will be a place for people who would like to only compete at a 'Modified-Contact' level.
⚫️⚪️⚫️ Competition Structure; ⚫️⚪️⚫️
⚫️ Four teams; East, West, North, South. ⚫️
These teams will be based on Skaters home league/club. The idea is to eliminate the randomness of scrimmage rosters, and have more of a team structure. Skaters will be playing with the same people each round, including Bench Crew.
⚫️ 4 Rounds [Roughly one per School Term] ⚫️
⚪️ Round 1: 5 April
➖ Game 1; East vs. West
➖ Game 2; North vs. South
⚪️ Round 2: 21 June (DATE MAY CHANGE)
➖ Game 1; East vs. North
➖ Game 2; West vs. South
⚪️ Round 3: 30 August (DATE MAY CHANGE)

⚫️ Eligibility [Based on SWS L-C Guideline];⚫️
⚪️ Skaters must hold Skate Victoria ‘Senior Competitive’ level membership.
⚪️Skaters must have permission from their home league to participate.
⚪️ Skaters must participate regularly in contact training with their home league/club.
⚪️Skater must have minimum rules knowledge, this includes; basic gameplay & penalties.
⚪️ Skaters must not primarily participate in full-contact training with their home league/club.
➖ Once skaters move up to a level where they regularly participate in full-contact training with their home league/clubs, they will no longer be suitable for the competition.
⚪️ Occasionally, ‘new to full-contact’ skaters may be included on the roster at the discretion of the Skater’s home league/club and The ModCon Organisation Crew.
➖ This may be due to the roster having low numbers or a significant level of drop-outs. This must always be done primarily with the experience of the Modified-Contact Skaters in mind.
⚪️Full-Contact Bouting Skaters will only be added to the Roster under the following circumstances;
➖ If they are suitable to play; as they are able to safely comply with The ModCon Challenge - Gameplay Guidelines.
➖ If the roster has low numbers or a significant level of drop-outs and back-fill is needed.
The ModCon Organisation Crew reserves the right to enquire about a skaters eligibility with their home league/club if needed.
