if you went to AZRD earlier this month, you would have seen these great kids skating between the periods.  This last weekend, the Tucson Derby Brats had their first regulation length (3 20-minute periods) bout.  It was a great roadtrip down to Tucson to see these kids and get a chance to meet our friends in Tucson.  I look forward to coming down and seeing them again as soon as I can.  From the bout itself, the Green Scream beat the Violet Femmes 93-73.

Other derby action this month!
Nov 3
AZRD - Bad News Beaters vs. Surly Gurlies @ Casey at the Bat
TRD - Wheelies Awards ceremony at the Congress Hotel

Nov 17
AZDD - Championship Bout - Brutal Beauties vs. Coffin Draggers @ Castle Sports Club
TRD - Doubleheader bout:  TRD Iron Curtain vs. Orange County Rollergirls then Duke City (Albuquerque) Ho-Bots vs. TRD Copper Queens @ Bladeworld
San Diego Derby Dolls is also having their championship bout on November 17.

As of right now, I plan to be at AZRD on 11/3 and Tucson on 11/17.  I wish the Brutal Beauties a back-to-back championship.  Sorry, but I am not giving up an opportunity to see three leagues play in one night!  (*^u^*)

This bout had "WOW" written all over it. Starting off with a very well done National Anthem featuring military color guard, derby fans across Arizona were getting ready for what would turn into a major nail-biter. Just as Snot Rocket became a household name from the Austin Nationals, the upcoming household name in the AZDD is Coffin Draggers' fresh meat Forbid N Fruit. FNF definitely got in some good jams for the 'Draggers. While on the Bombshells, Phenomenon, who just recently came off a nasty injury in Vegas came in with 8, 9 and even 11 point jams. This bout definitely had it's share of brawls including a pretty nasty brawl right in the Dragger zone. Suzy Homewrecker was ejected from the game around that time. Both teams played hard tonight and it was fun seeing Rowdy coming on to the floor riding in a shopping cart. While the turnout was much lower than usual, probably because of the date change, the Dragger fans were much more alive even though there were more fans in the Bombshell zone. Despite my red shirt, congratulations to my friends on the Draggers for a tough fight as well as to the Bombshells who tried really hard.

The Derby Brats came in from Tucson for last Saturday's Arizona Roller Derby (AZRD) bout.  Between the periods, the brats (all under 18) skated a two period bout.  These kids were amazing.  At the WFTDA Nationals in Austin last month, they tromped all over the Seattle brat team.  These kids are the future of our sport.  I hope they come and see us again here.  On behalf of Arizona derby fans, thank you Derby Brats for spreading derby love in your own way. (*^u^*)

Well derby fans.  I have just come back from my first AZRD bout.  As many of you know, I normally follow the AZDD, but in an effort to share derby love, this Michi-chan has checked out her adopted team, The Brawlarinas take on the Bruisers. 

In this bout, it was solid derby all the way, no fights.  The Bruisers started with getting lead jammer on the first two jams of the night and things went well for both teams.  While the purple jamming of Mizz Nashty, French Lyck and C. Ducktive was outstanding, the Brawlas defense just could not beat GingerVicious and Cookie Cut-Her and the rest of the Bruisers.

While that was a great bout, the overall highlight of the evening was the appearance of the Derby Brats from Tucson.  These girls (and even a couple guys) just had an outstanding victory in Austin did a two period bout between the AZRD periods.  These brat teams were outstanding.   They are the future of this sport.  Please do whatever you can to support them.

In the Derby Brats bout, the final score was: Violet Femmes 87, Green Scream 54.

I want to thank AZRD and especially the Brawlarinas for making me feel welcome during my first bout despite my open fandom of other leagues.    I just wish more people knew about tonight's bout.  They missed a great one!

We did get the calendar for this season!  Here it is:
11/3 - Beaters vs. Surly Gurles
12/8 - TCT vs. Minnesota Rollergirls (away)
1/5 - Brawlarinas vs. Surly Gurlies
2/2 - Beaters vs. Bruisers
3/29 - Bruisers vs. Surly Gurlies
4/19 - Beaters vs. Brawlarinas
5/3 - TCT vs. Kansas City Roller Warriors (home) **
5/24 - Semi-final
6/14 - Championship

** - Dont miss the 5/3 bout against KCRW.  KCRW just won the WFTDA Nationals this year in a massive nail-biter over Rat City in Austin.  Look out for KCRW's Snot Rocket, the ultimate jammer.  Just seeing Snot Rocket is worth the price of the bout ticket right there.  Let's see how the TCT can hold them at bey.

with derby love...

Check out our latest roller derby parody song for The Coffin Draggers of the Arizona Derby Dames.  Just in time for Halloween and their 10/13 bout against the Bombshells.   "The Coffin Drag" is a parody of "Monster Mash" by Bobby Boris Pickett.  Enjoy and we'll see you at 'Draggers vs. Bombshells on 10/13 as well as AZRD's opener Brawlarinas vs. Bruisers on 10/6.
