WFTDA Western Regionals: Oly Rollers vs Rocky Mountain Rollergirls


11 Oct

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.

 

WFTDA Western Regionals: Saturday


09 Oct

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.
