Tragic City Rollers Home Bout

The Tragic City Rollers All Stars take on the Blue Ridge Y’allstars from Asheville, NC, followed by a match up between TCR’s Bhammers and the Blue Ridge Retrogrades!

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.
