Weekly Rollup and Open Thread, 7/15/2011

By Hurt Reynolds, Last updated Fri Jul 15 2011 3:33pm

The Denver Roller Dolls announced a group sales incentive for the WFTDA Championship Tournament, allowing leagues to benefit from helping to market the event.

WFTDA's been busy, adding 15 leagues to its Apprentice program, preparing for an organization-building Australia trip, and launching Rules Central, an overhaul of the WFTDA website's rules section which includes a new outlet for official rules clarifications between formal ruleset releases.

RSA, the organization of roller skate rink operators, recently launched the Make A Skatement initiative as an attempt to overhaul the image of roller skating. Hey, guys? Why don't you just, I dunno, let derby handle that for you?

There will be beer available at a Gotham Girls bout. Repeat: THERE WILL BE BEER AVAILABLE AT A GOTHAM GIRLS BOUT. Praise Pack Is Here Jesus. For those interested in actual on-the-track historic events, it'll also mark the first time the MRDA New York Shock Exchange and WFTDA Gotham Girls share a bill.

Not your typical "mom plays roller derby" article.

We've lost count of how many countries are now bouting publicly, but the total increases by one this weekend: The Netherlands. That's some bout poster.

This week's feature video: roller derby on Nightline. Here, ABC, let us help you out with proper attribution on the Steel City/London footage that starts just after 3:00: "Courtesy of DNN/Baron Von Strange."
