Western Regionals Game 2: Sacred City V Jet City
(10/5/2010)
Sacred City, seed 10, played the 2nd bout of the day against the Jet City Rollergirls, seed 7. Perhaps it's because we are a small league, compared to a lot of the competitors, or perhaps it's just a by-product of being newcomers to Regionals, but it seemed that Sacred intimidated few and was perhaps counted out even before they took the floor.

Tank’s Rollin’ on the River Bracket Breakdown
(9/30/2010)
Game 2: Jet City Rollergirls vs. Sacred City Derby Girls: While home court advantage is usually a benefit in most sports, for derby tournaments I feel it's a disadvantage because your skaters have to worry about running the tournament and not just skating in it.
