WELCOME 2016 International WFTDA Championships On behalf of the WFTDA Board of Directors, Officers, and staff, I am excited to welcome you to the 2016 International WFTDA Championships. 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, Rose City Rollers, 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 Portland and we’ll see you ‘round the track! Alisha Campbell WFTDA TOURNAMENTS DIRECTOR 2 FROM YOUR HOST WELCOME FROM THE ROSE CITY ROLLERS Welcome to Portland, Oregon! The Rose City Rollers are excited that you are here and stoked to be hosting the WFTDA Championship Tournament this year! Our tournament is being held at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, part of the Rose Quarter complex and home of the Portland Trailblazers. This complex is centrally located in Portland, near shops and restaurants and an easy light rail ride from beautiful downtown Portland. Around the area you will find plenty of coffee shops, cafes, and bars as well as a whole bunch of shops to meet your traveling needs. Portland is becoming quite the travel destination these days, what with our mild climate and “keep it weird” attitude. We are proud to be in the Pacific Northwest, home of evergreen trees, lumberjacks, and grunge music. The Rose City Rollers hope that you have an amazing time while in our town and encourage you to stick around after this weekend and check out some of what we have to offer. From waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge to Powells Books, we really do have it all. ABOUT THE ROSE CITY ROLLERS Rose City was founded in August 2004 by a small group of gritty, gutsy, and nostalgic gals who decided to dust off their quad skates and hit the rink. From those humble beginnings, Rose City has become the largest roller derby league in the world with over 500 active skating members, including an awesome junior derby program, and hundreds of volunteers and support staff. And we wouldn’t be true to ourselves if we didn’t mention that we are the current WFTDA Champs, bringing the Hydra trophy home in 2015!
