MRDA Announces 2013 Mid-Season Rankings
For Immediate Release
July 2, 2013 – MRDA announced the mid-season rankings for the 2013 season. The biggest debut to the rankings is London’s formerly-unranked Southern Discomfort Roller Derby entering at #10 after a great showing at the Big O. Another big mover is the Deep Valley Belligerents moving up six spots to #8 after nearly pulling off an upset against #6 Portland Men’s Roller Derby’s Bridgetown Menace in April.
The top five spots remained the same with Your Mom Men’s Derby retaining the top spot. You can see the initial 2013 rankings here.
The Mohawk Valley Cup August 17-18 in Rome, New York is the final remaining major men’s tournament of the 2013 regular season. The Mohawk Valley Cup features eight MRDA member leagues and could shake things up ahead of the final 2013 rankings set for release in mid-September.
The top eight teams in the end-of-year rankings will attend the 2013 MRDA Championships in Sioux City, Iowa, October 19-20.
