It’s already time for the final games (nine and ten) of the regular season for the Arizona Derby Dames 2010 inaugural banked track roller derby season. With August playoff positions being determined by the outcomes of this double header, the competition is sure to be intense.

The Coffin Draggers, who narrowly lost to the Bombshells in June by a mere four points in the final jam of the game, are still in contention for a three-way tie for a first place record if they defeat the as of now undefeated Schoolyard Scrappers. The Bombshells are also in contention for that three-way tie for first place if they beat the Runaway Brides and the Coffin Draggers defeat the Schoolyard Scrappers. A first place ranking at the end of July means that team automatically advances to the Arizona Derby Dames 2010 banked track championship in September, while the remaining four teams compete in a three game mini-tournament playoff on August 21 to vie for the remaining spot in the championship.

Current rankings and records as of the outcomes of the June games are as follows:

Schoolyard Scrappers: 3 wins, 0 losses

Bombshells: 2 wins, 1 loss

Coffin Draggers: 2 wins, 1 loss

Runaway Brides: 1 win, 2 losses

Brutal Beauties: 0 wins, 4 losses

The teams’ win/loss records determine rankings. In the case of a tie between two teams, the team who won in the match up during the regular season prevails in the rankings. In the case of a three-way tie, the rankings will be determined by total points accumulated during the 2010 Arizona Derby Dames regular season by each team tied for a position. The remaining teams’ rankings will be determined by their win/loss record for the season.

Only a handful of modern all-women skater-operated roller derby leagues in the world own and skate on a banked track. Arizona Derby Dames are proud to be bringing a traditionally inspired brand of roller derby with a new age twist to Phoenix. In 2010, Arizona Derby Dames joined the ranks of roller derby leagues like the Los Angeles Derby Dolls, the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls in Austin, Red Dirt Rebellion Rollergirls in Oklahoma City and the San Diego Derby Dolls that are the new breed of unscripted, ultra-competitive, 100 percent real banked track roller derby.
