2008 WTFDA Championship

Portland and Seattle team up to host 'Northwest Knockdown'

The Northest Knockdown is the the 2008 Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) Championship Tournament, co-hosted by Rose City Rollers and Rat City Rollergirls at the Portland Expo Center November 14-16. It will feature the top eight roller derby teams in the country duking it out for the national title. The November championship follows Western Regionals, hosted by Houston Roller Derby October 3-5, and Eastern Regionals, hosted by the Mad Rollin' Dolls (Madison, Wisc.) October 10-12.

At roller derby tournaments, as we have witnessed, the competition is top-notch and fierce, and anything can happen!

The Rough-and-Tumble Beauty of the Northwest

The Rose City Rollers and the Rat City Rollergirls are proud to announce that the tournament will be infused with all of the rough-and-tumble beauty of our two cities and our region. We are also thrilled to unveil the Northwest Knockdown logo, a gorgeous, skate-clad lumberlady, drawn by amazing Seattle artist Krysztof Nemeth (who has also drawn several of our more popular bout posters).

What To Expect

The tournament features amazing roller derby athleticism, a rich assortment of vendors and other entertainment. We are also throwing several large, badass, city-wide parties in the evenings after the tournament to celebrate the event featuring the Knockdown Party Bus Tour on Friday and Saturday night, and a walking tour on Sunday afternoon. In addition, we will have a Saturday afternoon scrimmage for non-bouting skaters and referees from all skill levels, from all across the country.
