T O U T S R N A M E N WELCOME 2016 WFTDA DIVISION 1 PLAYOFFS

On behalf of the WFTDA Board of Directors, Officers, and staff, I am excited to welcome you to the 2016 International WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs.

Nothing compares to being here. Plain and simple. The fantastic feats of athleticism on the track, the excitement and emotion in the stands, the concentration and attention to detail on the dais, and the enticing goods in the vendor village.

This is roller derby. We are roller derby.

So who will you be today? Will you be persistent and powerful, strong and swift, a leader on the track? Will you be fierce and fast and forceful, a goal setter…a record breaker? Will you be focused and creative? Will you capture that amazing shot? Will you paint your face and put on your colors? Will you chant and sing and cry and scream?

One thing is clear—whether you’re a Skater, Official, photographer, announcer, or fan (or any combination thereof), TODAY YOU WILL BE ROLLER DERBY!

This weekend wouldn’t be possible without the tremendous amount of support and time our hosts, Montréal Roller Derby, and all of their volunteers have put in. When you see their event staff, be sure to thank them for hosting such a fantastic tournament.

Enjoy your time in Montréal and we’ll see you ‘round the track!

Alisha Campbell WFTDA TOURNAMENTS DIRECTOR
