It's Championship time!

This is it!  It's that time of year again!  The 5 A level teams are washing their uniforms and getting those final gear adjustments done to be ready for THIS WEEKEND!  Since January, these teams have battled hard and displayed what many call some of the best derby in the world.  This weekend will NOT disappoint.

Saturday, July 7th and Sunday, July 8th at Sk8 Town in Port Orchard, The Portland Rosebuds, I5 Roller Girls, SDB Galaxy Girls, Kitsap Derby Brats and ECJG Reservoir Dolls will hit the flat track to battle it out for three very fine trophies created by local artist James Kelsey.

Over the last month, the Reservoir dolls had a couple of well fought bouts against I5, the Rosebuds and Kitsap brats, bringing us to the final standings you see over at the right of your screen.

At the beginning of the season, the teams got together and agreed on a ranked season with those rankings deciding the seeding going into the final tournament.

I can now release to you, the bracket and day one schedule!

As of this writing, things will kick off at 11:30 with the Galaxy Girls up against the Reservoir Dolls, followed by I5 vs Kitsap with the Rosebuds having a bye in the first round.  The Buds will face the winner of bout one in bout three meaning each team is playing against a team at least two seeds below them in the standings.  The final game of Saturday will be the first elimination in the tournament with the losing teams from bouts one and two facing off, but the losing bracket teams also have a chance to battle back for first place!

I will be announcing half of the games (joining some of the best in the business), and will be ready with pen and pad in hand to write things out for the rest (joining Elwood Bruise, also one of the best in the business).
