Tragic City Rollers Home Bout

The Tragic City Rollers All Stars will play the Atlanta Rumble Bees, followed by the annual Dame Cobain Memorial Scrimmage. This is a mixed scrimmage open to players from several southeastern roller derby leagues. Team Nirvana takes on Team Foo Fighters – show up in your best 90s grunge fit!

Roller derby is a fast-paced, full-contact sport played on quad roller skates. Each game is two 30-minute periods composed of two minute plays, or “jams.” Each team starts with four skaters playing defense (“blockers”) and one player playing offense (“jammer”). The jammer must pass each opposing blocker upright and in-bounds in order to make a legal lap. The first jammer to make it past the group of blockers (the “pack”) on their initial lap is designated as “lead jammer,” and has the power to stop the jam before two minutes are up. After the initial lap, jammers accumulate one point for every opposing blocker they pass.
