Possible fraud by Brawl of America vendor
Posted by Minnesota RollerGirls, 09/23/09
The Brawl of America apologizes if you have received aggressive or repeated sales calls after providing a Brawl of America vendor with your contact information for a prize drawing. We’ve been informed by a number of our own members that they’ve received phone calls claiming they’ve won a travel package prize and claiming that in order to ensure said prize, a credit card number must be given.
While we do not have proof, we feel this is not a request a legitimate business would make. We encourage you to refuse any request for personal or financial information in order to claim a prize you have supposedly won; a reputable business would never do that.
Some examples:
- They need to “secure a promotional fee of $299 per person before they can send out the vacation package”
- The caller told him he “had won a trip to the Bahamas worth $2500, but he needed $300/person ‘to confirm/hold his space’”
- The caller said “there was a 2-day cruise to the Caribbean cruise as well as vacations to Las Vegas and to Puerta Vallarta available, but they needed $589 to ‘confirm her identity as the winner’”

YOUR CHAMPIONS, WINDY CITY ROLLERS 150-56
Posted by Garrison Killer, 09/20/09
Congratulations to the Windy City Rollers tonight! We are privileged to have seen this chapter of roller derby history happen - the WCR…so powerful throughout this tournament - took the lead early and never looked back. Madison put on some beautiful magic - but nothing could stop the speedsters from the Windy City.
As champions, the WCR will travel to Philly with a bye in the first round, while Madison will take on Boston’s Derby Dames.
What a weekend, and we are so pleased that you could be with us for the duration. So many thanks - we’ll leave that for another time, but thanks in volume are coming.
Best to you all,
-Garrison Killer and Eve L Hazard
Windy City up by 71 at the half - 90-19
Posted by Garrison Killer, 09/20/09
This matchup - for the North Central championship, for the bye berth at Nationals, and for pride of the Midwest has been a study in the effect of fast-derby tactics on an extraordinary team. The Mad Rollin’ Dolls continue to play their style of hard-hitting, precise blocking with a remarkable competence, but they are having trouble keeping up with Varla Vendetta and Shocka Conduit. Varla and Shocka took control of four early power jams to establish a hard, firm control on scoreboard - and instead of sitting on that lead, they have continued to increase that lead. Madison’s one lead jam in which they took more than five points came from a Juke Boxx-Mouse pass the star, but that has been the extent to which MRD has been able to innovate.
At the half: 90-19.
Detroit goes to Nationals in Consolation bout win
Posted by Garrison Killer, 09/20/09
Although this game began with multiple nil-nil jams, the work of Racer McChaseHer early on kept the Detroit girls on top, even through a much more even second half. Though Cincy put up 44 points - tripling their score from the first half, that would not overcome the hard work and determination of Detroit.
Detroit will face Gotham in the first round at Nationals - good luck to the toast of Michigan, the Detroit Derby Girls!
At the half, Detroit well ahead 73-18
Posted by Garrison Killer, 09/20/09
The game has been relatively lopsided thus far; Racer McChaseher has completely sent the Detroit team into the stratosphere with two spectacular jams - one with thirteen points, one as part of star-passed thirty. Though Cincy has been doing some nice work with withholding jammers up front, but no Cincy jammer has passed the pack more than once in scoring.
With a sextuple slam during a power jam and such solid blocking, it’s no wonder that Detroit is ahead 73-18 at the half.
Sextuple jam. Never seen that at this level. Insane.
