Roster & Uniform Number Policy Changes

WFTDA has a new roster/uniform number policy in effect now for all of their sanctioned/mock-sanctioned and strength factor challenge games only. (It will go up for a vote in December 2016 as to whether or not it will be enforced in ALL games. ) The new policy removes the ability to have letters in your Charter Roster number, but you can still have them on your uniform if they are 2 inches or smaller.  Numbers on the back now have to be 6 inches (where they were previously 4 inches).
(Arms are still 2 inches).

This was posted to WFTDA originally in November 2014 and circulated via social media and via their forum. Relevant WFTDA threads are available here:

Out of respect for our partnership with WFTDA and in an effort to promote uniformity, MRDA will also be following this policy for **all MRDA sanctioned games (these utilize a team’s charter).** To give our members additional time to conform to this requirement, it will go into effect for our sanctioned games as of  APRIL 1, 2016.

April 1, 2016 and beyond- uniforms will be required to meet these restrictions, or it will effect the sanctioning of your game(s).

Questions and comments may be directed to the MRDA Forum.

WFTDA, MRDA Announce Plans for Unified Officiating Certification Program

WFTDA, MRDA Announce Plans for Unified Officiating Certification Program

The Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA) and the Men’s Roller Derby Association (MRDA) are happy to announce that the ongoing collaboration between the two organizations has generated a concept for a unified officiating certification program. Having a single standard of excellence for roller derby officiating was one of the long-term goals the organizations set when they first signed a collaborative agreement in mid-2014.

Members of both associations have approved the concept of unifying the WFTDA and MRDA officiating certification programs. The organizations are electing a new certification oversight panel that will include representation from both organizations. The joint certification program will continue to promote excellence and consistency in officiating, and will help to streamline the certification process for officials who work in both organizations.

“The WFTDA has been reviewing its certification process for some time. Collaborating with our partners in the MRDA offers a perfect opportunity to update the program and strengthen the working relationship between the organizations,” said Grace Killy, the Ex Officio member of the WFTDA Board of Directors.

This felt like an inevitable positive next step in the evolution of the partnership between MRDA and WFTDA, and will serve to help recruit, develop, certify and advance our collective officiating population,” said Miss Trial, MRDA’s Director of Officiating.

Additional details will be released as the new program is developed.
