In an exciting interleague game, the Duke City Munecas Muertas beat the Dallas Derby Devils 63-62. More to come tomorrow. Top scorer for Duke City was Muffin...
Faster packs: ...means lower overall scoring potential. You want a faster pack when your jammer has little chance of scoring or is in the penalty box. ...makes...
I want to start a recreational league and I would like to gather some information. If you have started one or know the details about starting one please...
My experience is you normally speed the pack up for defensive purposes, so your speed blockers (pivot is being considered a blocker) at the front of the pack...
OK, I'm only a day behind on the Tallahassee running on Hell on Wheels. I suppose I could go to a derby even on Friday, but after writing bout previews and...
Kudos to you Thomas! A desire to implement an ideal schedule (no concflicts), while not always possible, is a huge step in the right direction. I'm sure...
It's my sincere hope & belief that the schedule conflicts between Lonestar & Texas Rollergirls will be greatly reduced, and possibly eliminated entirely, for...
We did share our 2008 season schedule with the Lonestars in an attempt to avoid conflicting schedules last season. Unfortunately sharing our dates did not...
Thanks for the correction Justice! I was wondering why Rocky Mountain was traveling again to Madison to play, and they weren't. Self editing does not work...
Correction there: Madison is playing the Denver Roller Dolls (ranked 25), not the Rocky Mountain Roller Girls (ranked #14). Rocky Mountain beat Madison 131-98...
The pack is clearly stated in the rules and does not include jammers. So throw out the jammers and put in the number of blockers in the pack, and basically...
"The pack" is not the largest group of skaters. It is the largest group of skaters with members from both teams that are not jammers. The strategy in managing...
This appears to be a busy weekend in roller derby. Friday night, Providence Roller derby presents Sea Shanty Shake Down. The league will have the Mob Squad...
I'm not even sure amicable is necessary. Just try not to step on each others feet. And it could be in the future that even if you don't get back together,...
I agree, the Texas Rollergirls' schedule is easy to predict. However, if the Lonestars are handed a schedule by ACC with available dates, and the available...
This is not rocket science, and I may bring this situation up every time it occurs. Because ultimately derby fans have said, They would pay money to see TXRD...
We've discussed this before. I can tell you that the Lonestars are committed to Sunday nights due to their venue availability at the Austin Convention Center....
That's the nature of the two leagues going up against each other. Roller derby fans have to make choices, which bout will they attend. I wish they didn't have...
Aw nuts. I'm going to be in town, but will attend the Lonestars' Hellcats vs Putas Del Fuego bout. I really would have liked to see Big Easy skate. I've heard...
There is a spirit of the law and there is the letter of the law. The spirit of the law was the context, and the intent the law was written in. What was the...
To my thinking it is a strange strategy. You can isolate a player on the other team if you want and try to establsih this as the official pack, but usually...
Phil- Im sure you saw this strategy at our game...and a great strategy it is....basically the difference is whether you have an opposing team member isolated...
It is a very good question, and a good answer too! I think that is where team strategy and official's judgment comes into play here, and understand this is...
It is not a penalty to force one or more players out of the pack by waving everyone else away from them. It IS a penalty to intentionally 'split' the pack,...
There is a bug, or a malfunction in this group. I noticed it last night, and it continues this morning. The photo on the homepage may not be displaying. And...
The Texas Rollergirls will host double-header action on Sunday. In the first game the Hotrod Honeys will take on the Big Easy Rollergirls from New Orleans,...
