WFTDA South Central Region

The Women's Flat Track Derby Association's South Central Region was formed in 2008 [1] when 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

For 2011, the region was expanded, taking in leagues from Nebraska and New Mexico. [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.
