December 1st marks an update in the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) Rules.
For full details on the changes, check out the WFTDA News Page, but one key change has derby girls around the world panicking.
From December 1st, 2009, uniform numbers of officially rostered WFTDA skaters must contain at least one number, and while they may contain letters, the combination of numbers or numbers and letters cannot exceed four digits. For example XIX is no longer allowed, but X1X would be allowed.
There is some question as to how much this change will affect UK Leagues, as only London Rollergirls are currently affiliated members of the WFTDA, as mentioned last month when they were awarded Apprentice Program status.
But it's definitely something to keep in mind ....

This will surely only affect a minority of skaters, panic may be too strong a word. However, in my view, it is a sensible change!
ReplyDeleteI may be wrong here, but I thought the UK leagues skated using WFTDA rules anyway, so I would have presumed it will affect all UK skaters?
