40 Teams to Compete in Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Playoffs, Starting Sept. 10
Over a four-week period, the top 10 teams in each of the four WFTDA regions will compete for a chance to advance to the fourth annual WFTDA Championship Tournament, Nov. 5-7 in Chicago, IL. The first, second and third place teams from each region – East, North Central, South Central and West – earn a spot at the championships.
In addition to the do-or-die, single-elimination bracket that allows teams to qualify for the Championships, the regional tournaments will also feature “consolation” matches to facilitate accurate ranking within each region. Download a printable tournament bracket at http://wftda.com/The-Big-5.
Teams qualified for the regional tournaments based on the most recent WFTDA rankings. The second quarter rankings include games played through June 30.
