In case you aren’t familiar, the Rat City Rollergirls is Seattle’s first flat track, all-female roller derby league, founded in April 2004. The league is composed of about 100 member-owners, who are divided among four teams: Derby Liberation Front, Grave Danger, Sockit Wenches, and Throttle Rockets. RCRG’s fifth team, the Rat City Rollergirls All-Stars, is composed of the best players from the four home teams, who represent the league in regional and national play.
Girard tells us that the 2012 season will include, “an exciting mix of play from the home teams you know and love and interleague play from the Rat City All Stars, who recently placed fourth in the uber-competitive Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) Western Region semi-finals (narrowly losing to reigning WFTDA Champions Rocky Mountain Rollergirls).”
