Adelaide Roller Derby (ADRD) will once again host The Great Southern Slam (TGSS), the biggest roller derby tournament in the world, over three massive days from Saturday 7 to Monday 9 June 2014.
Roller Derby is a full contact sport played by two teams skating around a track. Game play consists of a series of short matchups ‘jams’, in which both teams designate a player, the ‘jammer’ who scores points by lapping opposing team members as they attempt to block her.
TGSS will showcase 45 leagues (listed below) from across Australia and New Zealand, competing in two divisions and goes a little something like this:
• Saturday, Division 1 Tournament
• Sunday, Division 2 Tournament
• Monday, Division 1 & 2 Semi Finals and Grand Finals
Spectators are welcome and tickets will be available from Oztix in May. http://www.oztix.com.au
