PHOENIX, AZ - July 12, 2008 - Additional chairs were brought into the Castle Sports Club in anticipation of a higher than usual sales of presale tickets. The Arizona Derby Dames did sell out the house and those who were lucky to get in were in for two major treats.
Here it is the Wednesday after one of the most exciting Dames bouts of the entire season and I finally got about 90 percent of my voice back. If you missed that bout, you really missed out. Remember the number one rule for being a Dames fan.. SHOW UP EARLY!!!!
DAMES
We have a flash final score from Bladeworld in Tucson:
WFTDA-INTERLEAGUE
(6) TUCSON ROLLER DERBY SADDLETRAMPS - 81
(26) PIKES PEAK DERBY DAMES SLAMAZONS - 94
Sloppy Flo did not skate tonight due to asthma. With all of the brush fires here in Phoenix and down in Tucson, I can totally understand any skater who is also asthmatic sitting out. Flo's presence may have helped TRD win this bout or at least narrow the margin.
The AZDR was not at this bout.
Only the extract could be recovered.

And you all thought the 1979 Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park was something strange in sports, check out what happened at TRD on Saturday (6-21-08).
TRD
The one night that I was not able to make it to Tucson due to my new work schedule was the one night that all hell would break loose at Tucson Roller Derby.
The AZDR has obtained several eyewitness accounts of what happened during the bout at Bladeworld last night and we are going solely off of this information. Please comment with any clarifications or corrections to the accounts described.
Based on information received from Tucson Roller Derby and sources at the rinks, we have the following final scores from TRD:
BOUT 1
Vice Squad - 164
Iron Curtain - 14
BOUT 2
Copper Queens - 125
FT Waitresses - 73
The AZDR had heard a report that during the Vice vs. Iron Curtain bout, newcomer to TRD (but no stranger to derby) Helen Wheels had two 15-point jams.
PHOENIX, AZ - June 14, 2008 - The Castle Sports Club was definitely the Phoenix hot spot last night both outside and inside the venue. It's that time of the year when it's 105 degrees outside and inside, the swamp coolers at the Castle don't do anything but turn Arizona into Florida.
From what I could see, attendance was slightly down compared to previous bouts. I think the cost of gas is putting a crunch on some fan's derby dollars, but the die-hard fans were definitely there and there was definitely an audible roar along 19th Avenue last night.
This is not your grandma's roller derby. No alligators either!

It's a great way to derby when you don't have a lot of room to derby. Takes about the size of a basketball court and can be played with minimalist rosters (maximum 7, need 3 for a jam). It's a different kind of derby. Check it out!
No specific endorsement by the leagues implied, but the Michi endorses them. Each one deserves all the derby love you can give them..
