What you say is right on the money. I sure hope that we see some of the retired TX skaters on the sideline this year as I think the experience they bring and...
This weekend appears to be a weekend limited to Saturday action in Roller Derby. Saturday evening, the Queen City Rollergirls present Mardi Brawl. The Suicide...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the RollerDerbyIsSport group: How does your league draw for interlegue bouts? This is a fairly simple...

And I appreciate the insight on ECE. I think you and Bill S. have driven home a good point concerning bouting experience. Perhaps in some ways it is like...
aww shucks hammy. hopefully the ece 08 will produce a brand new crop of refs who are getting closer to being "tournament ready". zombie ... From: "Hambone"...
Appreciate the props ... and it would not have been possible without all the neighboring leagues around us -- namely, Philly, whose hosting of the ECE lets all...
If you have a bout you would like publicized this weekend, or any other weekend, please don't hesitate to post a picture of the bout flyer or poster in the...
This makes me wish I lived in Houston. Sunday afternoon and evening, the Houston Roller Derby will host a Super Bowl party at the Grab, 809 Pierce Street in...
Well you weren't completely wrong. The forms you received left you the impression there was a rating system in place, which there is. It's just that rating...
Oh, wow - I was completely wrong! I guess I got the stats-sheet presentation and the games/rankings discussion mushed up in my head... it was a long weekend. ...
Which means tournaments with multiple play opportunities may be the way to go for teams trying to move up in the rankings. And if you are on the road, all you...
Phil, You raised a very good point that I had not considered. My view is narrow and focused around one team. What you are saying encompasses more leagues with...
Agree, although in our league's case there's another regrettable and more practical decision criteria, which is 4) we just got an open home date verified at...
I'd love to see that, or at least the number of leagues that qualify. As you increase the size of the WFTDA, considering how expensive it is to travel, either...
I think that us going around and around isn't going to resolve anything. But here are things to think about that are related. How about ties? I believe other...
Again, ignore the victories of Texas over Carolina, and you as a voter look stupid. But I think that KC shouldn't have been penalized for a one point victory...
Poor Texas, they got dissed. But is there a league on the planet that can handle it better? ;) Nationals certainly set the ranking for the top four leagues,...
I think that is as good as any Southbay. A statistical system rating, and letting league reps either vote that way or modify those rankings at they seem fit. ...
That's been my impression, that the ranking was a poll based system. Which is a very good system, but unfortunately the system has it's limits. The major one...
That seems like a more logical method of polling. That means that leagues wanting make a regional tournament have to go out and play fairly well to make a...
In fact, a very desirable home and home exchange would be to play somebody that you think is fairly evenly matched. But what if you are a team and you can't...
This is not correct ... the WFTDA rankings have nothing to do with computerized calculations or formulas. It is a 100% subjective poll of leagues that are...
Hi Phil, Based on stuff I overhear, I don't think that teams genuinely bent on winning the big one at the end of the year deliberately play teams in their...
Hey Poobah...would you say Texas and Sin City are in the same region? If I had to guess I would say that Seattle is further from Austin than Boston is, and...
Heh, perhaps you're against computerized rankings because they work better when leagues DON'T stick to their region? *~[;-{p> But seriously, there's a page out...
Let me try this again. If a team has beaten a team that is ranked above them, it looks strange. If that team has beaten a team twice in the last year, it...
That means there is a formula programmed in by human beings, which is almost as subjective as a human poll. The key I think to rankings should usually be in...
Hi Phil! I admit I haven't been on the WFTDA Boards in quite a while, but I don't think the rankings are determined by a vote -- they are calculated according...
I can't even remember how much Texas beat Carolina by in Austin. And then in Carolina two weeks earlier Texas beat Carolina by five points, with a partial...
