I regret to report that it was a slaughter, Oly beating Bend by a final of - as I recall - 236 to 56. Ouch. This by memory, please don't accept these numbers...
Obviously if a team gets three passes, and no points, then the team whose jammer went through for the passes is probably going to raise bloody hell with the...
Again, this is a matter of organization and teamwork. I don't know how many times as a youngster either keeping score or keeping scoreboard, an official...
SO phil, to me it sounds like you are more upset that once the ref calls points, that those points don't always end up exactly like that on the board. In that...
It is waaaaay different. I know, I used to do it--both the official book and the board. One person has the ball--either shoots and scores or misses. Maybe...
Starting out as my leagues derby "guru," almost three years ago, I was the one that made up our rules. God bless that we have standardized rules now. I always...
I'm the coach for Assassination City. Our famous "lights out" bout was a tight one. The penalty tracker girls left their clipboards in the middle at half time....
Voodoo, When there is a lag between the scoring on the track and the reaction of the scoreboard, I will make a guess at how many points were scored. I can...
For the Brew City Bruisers, Summerfest activities will be held on the Henry Maier Park, 200 N Habor Drive in Milwaukee. Once you get into the Summerfest...
So, to begin with let's ignore the four-minors penalty system. That's hard enough for the penalty crew to track in a messy game, let alone fans. It's ...
... I admit to confusion in this regard as well, when attending bouts as a spectator. It's a minor flaw in the WFTDA rules, though I can't offer a suggestion...
... in a ... scoreboard ... That's why it is preferable to keep the scorekeeper and scoreboard operator together so they both know what is going on from the...
Phil, The interface between referee and scorekeeper seems relatively straightforward, and for the most part it is. But this is one link in a chain that runs...
Actually, considering how many freakin' forums I'm on, I was surprised to find out about the poster contest so late in the game. To assume that only WFTDA...
And I am going to pretty substantially disagree with you, agreeing however that scoring in derby can be complex. But I can do a pretty good job of keeping...
Sorry Phil, I have to agree. Comparing Derby Scoring to Basketball or baseball or any other professional sport is a tough stretch. Imagine if basketball was...
There are quite a few sports where the score can change after the vent is completed. Sailing (even at the Americas' Cup level), Sports Car Club of America...
Hey derby fans. The austin chronicle is wrapping up its "best of" nominations for 2006. The deadline is Monday July 2nd for online submission. Please vote for...
I'll concede a point. Derby scoring can be much more complex than basketball scoring at the junior high level, although I've seen some pretty wild games at...
Phil said: Secondly, have the official scorer and the scoreboard/clock keeper as integrated as possible so that the scoreboard operator knows what is going on...
Phil, I hope that you do change your mind on this matter, because you're wrong. For you to draw a parallel between junior high basketball and RD - the latter...
I heard about the poster contest and thought, what a great idea. So I asked Cheap Trixie to post it. I just thought it was interesting information. So don't...
heck if your job like mine has and easy email to name scheme go sign up everyone from your job for her wooohoooo ballot stuffing ... From: tru_shenanigans...
Man alive! We all need to get in on this and vote! You have to copy and paste her name from below on to the website - so it makes it foolproof! The deadline...
That's not precisely true. The game can be a game of fastbreaks, up and down the court with lots of scoring and action without timeouts. There are definitely...
How awkward that I am the one to post this, but hey. I wanna sell Nationals tickets. Texas Rollergirls has got this marketing stunt going wherein they have ...
