“Central City Rollergirls”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

A group of girls who already had some skating experience first set up an informal practice in November 2007. This group expanded quickly and the league has since grown to boast over 70 full members including referees and support crew.^[2] CCR first became affiliated with the UK Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) in 2008. CCR became an official member of UKRDA in 2010 alongside other founder leagues ^[3] In March 2012, the league was accepted as a full member of the WFTDA.^[4]

Teams

CCR currently fields two teams which travel the UK and Europe to typically play all star teams of similar leagues; these are the A Team and B Team.

The 2010/11 season saw the debut of CCR's intra-league teams, Bad Apples, Disco Beaters and Queens of Steel. These teams play each other once during the season in a round-robin format - with the top two teams qualifying for a grand final at the end of the season. The 2012/13 season intra-league final saw the Queens of Steel victorious over the Bad Apples in June 2013.
