22 Years of Derby in AZ

Sloppy Flo did not skate tonight due to asthma. With all of the brush fires here in Phoenix and down in Tucson, I can totally understand any skater who is also asthmatic sitting out. Flo's presence may have helped TRD win this bout or at least narrow the margin.

The AZDR was not at this bout.

Only the extract could be recovered.

On May 31, 6 ranked Tucson Roller Derby Saddletramps hosted 10 ranked Bay Area Derby Girls B.A.D.Girls at Bladeworld in Tucson. This was a 2 30-minute period game being played under WFTDA 2.1.1 rules. There was an interesting crowd there tonight. I had met folks from Duke City, whom I had announced a bout for them out here last year. Also down from Las Vegas, is the Grand Poobah of Derby. There was also a silent auction taking place to help raise funds for the Saddletramps.

(Updated: to adjust final score.)

On Saturday, February 16, 2008, you could feel the walls of Bladeworld vibrating for about a quarter mile around because of what was going on inside.

This was the rivalry that pits the #4 ranked Texas Rollergirls (TXRG) Texecutioners against the #6 ranked Tucson Roller Derby (TRD) Saddletramps. The last time these two teams met was in December, 2006 and in that bout, Tucson beats Texas 62-60 in overtime.

The Arizona Derby Report has been made aware of several derby related events taking place in both Phoenix and Tucson. With the timing of these events, it is possible for the hardcore derby fan to attend all of them.

The AZDR will be at these events, which we are billing as the "Arizona Derby Love Weekend".
