Teams edit

The Detroit Roller Derby league comprises four home teams: the D-Funk Allstars, the Devil's Night Dames, the Detroit Pistoffs, and the Grand Prix Madonnas.[6] In 2010 the league added the Grand Prix Madonnas and moved venues from the Detroit Masonic Temple to Cobo Arena.[7] Due to renovations at Cobo, the league has returned to the Detroit Masonic Temple, and occasionally hosts games at the Taylor Sportsplex.

The league also has three inter-league travel teams; "A" and "B" all-star teams: The Detroit Roller Derby Allstars, a "C" team: Motor City Disassembly Line (MCDL), and a pick-up style team containing various skill levels: Motown Wreckers.[8]

WFTDA competition edit

The Detroit Derby Girls finished third in the 2009 WFTDA North Central Regional Tournament, qualifying them to compete in the 2009 National Tournament.[9]

At the 2009 WFTDA National Championships, the DDG faced defending WFTDA champions Gotham Girls Roller Derby in the first round. Gotham won by a score of 187-38, eliminating Detroit from the tournament.[10]

In 2014, Detroit was the first champion of the newly created WFTDA Division 2, defeating Rideau Valley Roller Girls of Ottawa, Canada in the final.[11] In 2015, Detroit hosted a Division 2 playoff tournament,[12] while returning themselves to Division 1 play at Jacksonville, where they placed sixth.[13] In 2016, Detroit finished eighth at the Division 1 tournament hosted in Montreal.[14] At the 2017 Division 1 Playoff in Malmö, Detroit finished outside of the medals after losing their quarterfinal to Gotham Girls Roller Derby.[15]

In 2018, Detroit was the twelfth seed at the WFTDA Playoff in A Coruña, Spain, and ended their weekend with a narrow 224-223 consolation round victory against Sailor City Rollers.[16]
