WFTDA East Region

The WFTDA's East Region was formed in 2006.

In 2009, teams from the western part of the region were moved into the North Central and South Central Regions. [1] In 2008, WFTDA changed from having just two regional tournaments (East and West), to five, made up of teams from four regions: East, North Central, South Central and West. [2]

Contents

Members of the WFTDA's Europe Region competed in the East Region, as did members in the eastern part of the Canada Region. [3] WFTDA has now moved away from the Big 5 WFTDA Championships qualification tournament structure, last competed in 2012.

Starting with the 2013 WFTDA season, the regions were discontinued in favour of an overall-rankings based system, and a new playoff format was created.
