Recap

BERLIN, GERMANY--The first semifinal of Track Queens: Battle Royal was the third bout of the second day, and saw a rematch of the most lopsided bout in WFTDA history--London's 667-18 demolition of Auld Reekie earlier in 2012. While the result was never in doubt, it was clear from the very first jam it wasn't going to be as much of a blowout this time around.

BERLIN, GERMANY--An increasingly raucous crowd cheered on the second bout of the second day of Track Queens in a bout that was as much of a nailbiter as many of the bouts on day one. A back-and-forth first half saw Glasgow hold a three-point half-time lead, but it was Crime City who triumphed, 171-145.

BERLIN, GERMANY--Tournament favourites and DNN #11 London Rollergirls took on Helsinki in the penultimate bout of the first day of Track Queens: Battle Royal. They were never in danger of being victims of the day's fourth seeding upset against ninth-seed Helsinki, and delivered a 584-37 blowout despite giving habitual jammer Kamikaze Kitten a break from jamming for the entire second period.

BERLIN, GERMANY--After the first three games had all resulted in upsets, Stockholm started their bout against Glasgow with reason to worry about the tournament six seeds--but while a 73-4 run from Glasgow towards the end of the first period showed they had reason to worry, it was the Swedes who ended up comfortable 205-134 winners after a dominant second-half display.

BERLIN, GERMANY--The first quarter-final of Track Queens: Battle Royale was fought between two British teams who knew each other quite well--Birmingham's Central City Rollergirls and Edinburgh's Auld Reekie Rollergirls.
