Non-US/Canadian Derby Roundup: 23rd/24th December Edition
We’re bringing you another roundup of the upcoming Roller Derby this weekend from across the world. As always, we’re using Flat Track Stats for much of this information – for regions with less good coverage, we also do a bit of intensive searching using a tool which scans the Facebook events of Roller Derby leagues known to Derby Listing.
Predictions of bouts are from FTS, if possible, and from our own SRD Rank where FTS cannot make predictions (for example: Latin America, or non-MRDA men’s bouts). (SRDRank also has recent WFTDA rankings, including the 31st June ranking, as well as SRDRank, and allows you to make predictions from them.)
If we’ve missed you from our roundup, please let us know! [Or add yourselves to FTS and/or Derbylisting]

TDTM Listener Awards 2017: The Officials
For some years now, the Talk Derby To Me Podcast has been running their community-nominated and voted Listener Awards, recognising members of the Roller Derby community in various categories. The current 2017 Awards voting form is here.
Last year, TDTM added several categories, including one to recognise NSOs as they're a somewhat unsung part of the Roller Derby space, and yet essential to the sport. In response, we created a companion post allowing those nominated NSOs to say a bit about themselves - because the problem with being unsung is that people tend to be unaware of what it is you're doing, and how much you're doing!
This year, we're repeating the initiative, but opening it out to all Officials (nominees for the NSO and Referee awards) - collating responses from nominated Officials here.
At present, we have about 50% responses, and we'll be updating the below post if anyone else responds.

We’re bringing you another roundup of the upcoming Roller Derby this weekend from across the world. As always, we’re using Flat Track Stats for much of this information – for regions with less good coverage, we also do a bit of intensive searching using a tool which scans the Facebook events of Roller Derby leagues known to Derby Listing.
Predictions of bouts are from FTS, if possible, and from our own SRD Rank where FTS cannot make predictions (for example: Latin America, or non-MRDA men’s bouts). (SRDRank also has recent WFTDA rankings, including the 31st June ranking, as well as SRDRank, and allows you to make predictions from them.)
If we’ve missed you from our roundup, please let us know! [Or add yourselves to FTS and/or Derbylisting]

Predictions of bouts are from FTS, if possible, and from our own SRD Rank where FTS cannot make predictions (for example: Latin America, or non-MRDA men’s bouts). (SRDRank also has recent WFTDA rankings, including the 31st June ranking, as well as SRDRank, and allows you to make predictions from them.)
