If you read my recaps of Western Regionals you know that Oly (and RockyMountain) is a tier above all the other teams. Oly is ranked number 2 nationally, and Seattleis 6th in the West. The bout went about as well asRatCity could have expected it to (losing by a little over 100 points).

I am unhappy withRatCity’s strategy and jammer rotation. Why aren’t Juliet Bravo and Re-AnimateHer jamming? But I’m not the coach. And at Western Regionals this year, I will cheer forRatCity, but I’ll also be rooting for the Oly Rollers.

WFTDA Western Regionals: Oly Rollers vs Rocky Mountain Rollergirls

There was no doubt going in to the weekend that the final bout of the tournament would be Oly vs Rocky Mountain. No other team was quite on their level.

I’d like to say it was exciting, but exciting wasn’t the word (especially since I didn’t have a stake in who won, though the crowd was clearly rooting for Rocky Mountain). There were lead changes, but it wasn’t a bout that came down to the last couple of jams. It was a good, hard fought bout, between two evenly matched teams. Either could walk away with the prize at Championships.

Saturday was a day of blow outs. It started with Rat City beating the host team, Sacred City, by over 300 points. They set a WFTDA tournament record with 39 points scored in a single jam. Later, Rat City took down Tuscon. Denver defeated Duke City in the morning and Jet City in the afternoon.

This was the first real look at both the Oly and Rocky Mountain teams. Friday, they had each won without breaking a sweat. Neither sweated much more in taking out the previous day’s winners – Oly over Rose City and Rocky Mountain over the BAD Girls.
