Excited to see Angel City take on Gotham tonight!

Except, uhh... did I miss a few rule changes over the pandemic?

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

Hoping everyone gets back to rollering fast and derbying safely in 2022.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo You've cracked the case! I bet you feel a lot better about things today.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo …but yeah, it's ME. I'm the reason why derbyfolk are verbally abused, exploited, burn out & God Help Us driven to suicide. Yeah, all me.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo "The real problem?" Brother, if you think 1 dude with an opinion & a platform is the "real problem" but not bullying & suicide allegations…

@CaptLouElBammo Broken clock? You're one to speak, Mr. "JFTDA will be great!" & Mr. "LOL FIRS HAS NO ROLLER GAMES DERBY TEAMS." hahahaha

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo I care about my health and sanity more than I care about roller derby at the moment. But thanks for thinking of me! <3

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo Yeah, I've seen and noticed it too. Still no change in plans for derby to be happening there AFAIK, even if it's an exhib gm or something.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

It was always for the best that JFTDA never got off the ground. Unifying by dividing was bad idea from the start. Glad WFTDA came around.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

What this rules news isn't changing: Elite Jrs can't play w/adults til 18yo. JRDA will continue to work w/USARS,RDCL to offer opportunities.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

… WFTDA/MRDA eds will become "adult" rules. Updated timeline for rules docs releases/updates. Junior/JRDA rules out on June 15. Whew.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

Lots happening in this rules partnership announcement: JRDA will have official input into rules. JFTDA is nixed. Still mods for Jr play. …

[WFTDA @WFTDA]

WFTDA, @MRDAnews & @JRDA_ROCKS are proud to announce a partnership on The Rules - along w/ updated release dates: https://t.co/DoCGQbpUvQ

@CaptLouElBammo @RoushAH Yeeeeeeeah. I think we're done here. Have a good day, gentlemen!

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo @RoushAH Wow, you know you're right. You've got me figured out! That is EXACTLY what I would do. Thanks for mansplaining it!

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo @RoushAH We'll see if the people running FIRS derby do.

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo @RoushAH Oh no, more countries are involved with roller derby! What a terrible, terrible fate for the game. #sadday

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo @RoushAH lol you think I really give a shit if FIRS succeeds or fails

[RollerDerbyNotes.com @derbynotes]

@CaptLouElBammo @RoushAH … Regardless, FIRS's website directly relates to its current involvement in organizing comps. No shit, sherlock.
