Terminal City All-Stars prepare for big opposition at the Wild West Showdown

This weekend the Terminal City All-Stars once again head stateside to continue our determined climb up the West Region WFTDA roller derby rankings. The Wild West Showdown, hosted by Bremerton, Washington's Slaughter County Rollergirls pits the All-Stars against three mid-ranked teams sure to challenge.
Still floating a couple of inches above the track after our three big fat wins at the recent Big O
Tournament in Eugene, OR, the TCRG team needs to follow through here with some consistency and grit to seal a spot in the top 15 for the next WFTDA rankings release. We sit at #23 as of January 2012, but have decisively beat teams ranked 18th and 21st already this season, and are undefeated in 5 straight bouts! We're pretty much over the moon about our season so far, but we know wehave our work cut out for us in the Wild West.
The marquis Saturday night bout slot at 8pm March 3rd sees the All-Stars matched up against the Emerald City Rollergirls' Skatesaphrenics (#12) of Eugene, OR. At our last meeting in Eugene back in June 2011, a short TCRG bench of just 9 skaters helped give Emerald City the win. However, ECRG suffered two tough losses as as the hosts of the Big O, including a heartbreaker to Silicon Valley (14), losing by just two points. With a full and healthy bench, the All-Stars might have the edge this time around.
In the All-Stars' second bout, we'll face a big, skilled team in the Jet City Bombers (#8), the highest ranked team we've ever contended against in WFTDA play. Jet City, from Everett, WA, had two tough bouts at the Big O, dropping one to Silicon Valley (14), 124-122, and barely sneaking past upstart Wasatch (17) 117-112. They're sure to drop a few notches in the next official rankings issued, and TCRG are going to do everything we can to make sure that happens! No doubt Jet City will have a different plan in mind, and the TCRG will have to pull together as a team to defeat this veteran juggernaut.
While the Terminal City All-Stars sent Pike's Peak packing with a 100-point victory on Day 2 at The Big O, Pike's sank Santa Cruz' Boardwalk Bombshells the next day, 153-125.So the odds seem to be in TCRG's favour against SCDG (15) in our third Wild West bout, unless Santa Cruz has something up their sleeves...er... wristguards. The whistle blows at 6pm Sunday –we'll see which team can bring the intensity at the end of a long weekend of derby punishment.
The Terminal City All-Stars' Wild West Showdown schedule:
vs. Emerald City (12) – Saturday March 3rd at 8pm
vs. Jet City (8) – Sunday March 4th at 1pm
vs. Santa Cruz (15) – Sunday March 4th at 6pm

Terminal City All-Stars make their WFTDA mark at The Big O
by Miss E. Masculator, photos by Bob Ayers
The Emerald City Rollergirls and Derby Deeds teamed up last weekend to host the first ever Big O tournament in Eugene, Oregon. Eugene is known for its rain, environmentalism and roller derby, and it delivered on all accounts. The tournament was impeccably well-organized, the hosts were absolutely incredible, and it was a green event (food vendors used compostable foodware, recycling and compost bins lined the venue, and they provided water filling stations instead of water bottles to reduce waste). Swoon.
Making their debut at #23 in WFTDA’s tough Western region, the Terminal City All-Stars made the trek down to Eugene to see how we’d fare against some of our competitors in the race to regional playoffs. Only the top 10 teams (out of the 38 teams in the uber-competitive Western region) get to compete in the regional playoffs, each year. The TCRG All Stars *just* got accepted into WFTDA. And we *just* got ranked. But we want it. We don’t care if it’s crazy. We can smell it.
Or maybe that’s just our gear bags.
Either way, it can be hard to know where we really rank, way up here in Canada so far from the other teams in our region. The Big O tournament presented a perfect opportunity for us to begin to get a sense of where we stand. And we stood tall.
We were set up with 3 bouts against teams from Idaho, Colorado and California. Having never played in a tournament before, we were thankful for the guidance of coach Mack the Mouth and skaters Luludemon and 8 Mean Wheeler who were fresh off of a trip to the first ever roller derby World Cup as part of Team Canada. They let us in on some trade secrets to help keep us hydrated, relaxed and bout-ready throughout the tournament.
Our first bout kicked off the tournament and we came out strong, claiming a decisive 228-97 win over the unranked Humboldt Rollergirls. Our second bout was much closer. We spent far too much time in the penalty box, and our opponents took advantage of our sparse pack. In the end, we eked out a respectable 161-115 win against the up-and-coming Treasure Valley Rollergirls. In our final bout against the #18 ranked Pikes Peak Rollergirls, our controlled calm paid off in a 194-94 victory to round off our weekend with 3 Big O wins!
But we’re not getting big heads about it. In addition to our first experience with tournament play, this was the first bout on the team for some of our newer roster additions (the TCRG All Stars roster is made up of 20 of the top players in the league and is re-drafted every 3 months). We’re still pretty green and there are some fierce teams vying for playoff spots. Overall, the All Stars came home from the Big O with a little more confidence, a bit more experience, and a whole lot of excitement about what the rest of this season holds. WFTDA’s next quarter rankings won’t be released for another couple of months, but we’ve begun our climb! Next up: the Wild West Showdown in Bremerton, WA where we take on the Santa Cruz Rollergirls (ranked #15), the Emerald City Rollergirls (ranked #12) and the Jet City Rollergirls (ranked #8).
Terminal City All-Stars are preparing for the "Wild West Showdown" Tournament
Terminal City All-Stars are preparing for the "Wild West Showdown" Tournament that's happening in Bremerton, Washington on March 2-4, 2012!
2012 has been shaping up nicely for the Terminal City All-Stars! They made their debut on the WFTDA ranking in September 2011 and they've been working hard at winning as many bouts as possible to increase their chances of getting into the Western division top 10.

About the Wild West Showdown tournament:
This will be the 3rd year the Wild West Showdown has been hosted by the Slaughter County Roller Vixens and has become a major event in the roller derby season. Upsets and close games can affect 1st quarter rankings, and are always hard fought. The WFTDA sanctioned bouts played on Kitsap Sun Pavilion track 1 and 2 always prove to be exciting displays of athleticism and sportsmanship. A 3rd track in the President’s Hall features shorter exhibition bouts. The pick-up, co-ed, and men’s teams are always fun to watch. Stay tuned for info on other track 3 bouts.
