I'm still mad you didn't go with my suggestion for your name: "Diana Fire"
:harumph:

Will you be handing out posters and signing autographs?

"Roller Derby" sounds like something that could be an odd sex act nickname. like Dirty Sanchez etc. I'm just not creative enough to come up with anything right now.


Luv are most of your games (?) down there in Springfield? Or do you guys travel up north at all?

People have never heard of roller derby? In the 70's it got to where it was more or less the WWF on wheels - all show. It's actually a sport that both men and women do, although it's much more popular with the ladies.

The basics:

There is a Jammer. This is the person who scores points by lapping and passing opposing Blockers. The Jammer is easily recognized due to wearing a helmet cover that has a big star on each side.

There are four Blockers who prevent the opposing Jammer from passing them, but who are also trying to help their Jammer get through the pack (group of Blockers from both teams).

One of the Blockers will be wearing a helmet cover that has a big stripe running down the center. The Blocker is called the Pivot. If the Jammer is tired or having difficulty getting through the pack, she can take her helmet cover off and hand it to the Pivot. The Pivot becomes the new Jammer ones she puts the Helmet cover on over Pivot helmet cover.

A bout (or game) consists of two thirty-minute periods with a halftime between.

Each period consists of a number of Jams. A Jam ends either when two minutes have gone by or when the Lead Jammer calls off the Jam.

The Lead Jammer is the first Jammer that makes the initial pass through the pack without committing a penalty.

If the Jammer who passes her helmet cover to her Pivot happens to be the Lead Jammer, then she loses that status, and the Jam will go the entire two minutes.

No points are scored until after a Jammer makes their initial pass through the pack and laps them.

There are penalties such as elbowing someone, hitting someone above the shoulders, tripping someone, pushing an opposing player from behind, or cutting in front of players when you come back in from getting hit out of bounds.

If the Jammer who gets sent to the penalty box is the Lead Jammer, she loses that status and the Jam lasts the entire two minutes.

Anyone committing a penalty has to spend time in the penalty box. Anyone who gets sent to the penalty box seven times over the course of the bout gets ejected from the game.

shit that sounds confusing.
I guess it would make more sense in person.

how do you block? Do you just get in their way or can you 'influence' their path.

You can get in their way (positional blocking), or you can go up next to them and push them out of bounds. Just can't use your hands, forearms, or elbows. Any other part of the body can be used. Shoulders and hips are most popular.

kick ass. you hip check any bitches yet?

I've knocked a couple bitches down and out of bounds. :)

my brother used to punch me, and afterwards he always say "Take 'dat witch-ya'"

you should holler that when you check a bitch.

Have someone record you knocking some bitches out. CP would love to watch.

$50k in casino cash for video of Luv knocking someone unconscious.

Updated OP.

I'm going to try and make your next bout. I'll know by the beginning of the month what my work schedule looks like for that day. I wish your bouts started later, then it would be no question.

I'll believe it when I see it. :p

With a double header, we really can't start any later. After clean-up, our girls don't get out of there until about 10pm, and the other team is usually waiting for us at the after party venue.

If Sundays work better for you, I think that the July bout is our last Saturday home bout. I'm really not sure about that, though. August may or may not be on a Saturday. I know September is a Sunday for sure.
