Juggernaut 2018 - Warhammer 40K random doubles tournament

Warhammer 40K doubles events seem to be on the rise. They give you the opportunity to make an otherwise 2 person game into much more of a social event. The atmosphere is friendly and the game play is jovial. No wonder it is gaining momentum. It brings out players who want to be competitive and those who are more about the hobby and social side of Warhammer 40k.

Warhammer 40K doubles events usually aren't ranked like Singles (1v1) events. With the introduction of 'Random pairing' each round of the doubles event, it is possible to adjust the tournament so that you can easily find individual goals that give each competitor a unique score for each round played. Juggernaut 2018, we did just that and had scoring conditions that meant every one was able to achieve a unique score every game. With the Random pairing element making it a much more social occasion too.

Here is the results for the first trial of Random pairs 40K doubles that we tried.

The expertly piloted XV109 Y'vahra, laying waste to the opposition.

Reception post tournament was positive and encouraging. Everyone seemed to have had fun and the restrictions on LOW in such a low points engagement meant lists were much more varied. Even my foot slogger Dark Angels had a good day out on the Table top. We will be holding more of these casual events so keep your eye out and come and participate, meet the crowd :)
