WFTDA releases first quarter national rankings

Post by http://phoenix.fanster.com

The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) has released their first quarter rankings of roller derby leagues across the country. Late last year, WFTDA split their rankings up into four regions where each league competes in their own region. Arizona is a part of the Western Region. In the last rankings, both Arizona Roller Derby (AZRD) and Tucson Roller Derby (TRD) were ineligible for rankings due to some administrative reasons around their memberships in WFTDA. Both leagues have been ranked this quarter. Tucson Roller Derby, who had a 149-99 loss to Denver and a 135-49 win to AZRD at February’s Four Corner Feud tournament was placed at #9. AZRD, which took losses to Pikes Peak 160-52 at the Four Corner as well as a 136-62 loss against Angel City (Los Angeles) was ranked #12. Things are looking up for AZRD, last weekend, they beat the #14 ranked Sin City Rollergirls 95-82. This was the first win for the AZRD travel team in the past two years.

Here’s a complete listing of the Western Region rankings:

1. BAY AREA DERBY GIRLS - San Francisco, CA
2. OLY ROLLERS - Olympia, WA
