Columbia’s nationally ranked roller derby league, the Columbia QuadSquad Rollergirls, are gearing up  for their 4th Annual Southern Discomfort Roller Derby Tournament!

There is sure to be some great derby action with these Top 50 ranked teams: Detroit (28), Jacksonville (9), Rocky Mountain (44), Columbia QuadSquad (30), Madison (36), and Atlanta (11).  Also, be sure to catch some B-Team action from the Columbia’s Soda City Jerks  versus Madison’s B-Team  on Saturday night, as well as Detroit’s Disassembly Line versus Madison’s B-Team on Sunday afternoon.  These games are sure to be fights until the last whistle! The Columbia Junior Rollers and Rocky Mountain Rollerpunks will also battle it out Saturday afternoon to prove they might be young (ages 10-17), but they are just as fierce and will fight for every point!

The Columbia QuadSquad Allstars will be playing both Saturday (11 am) and Sunday (1 pm, 7pm), the Soda City Jerks will play Saturday at 7 pm, and the Columbia Junior Rollers will play Saturday at 5pm..  With numerous returning Allstars, the ladies look forward to combining strength with experience. Jammers, such as Tiffany ‘Poison Violet’ Quick, Agent Cherry Maim’her, Pastafarian, and Must Dash will lead the charge with lively, steady feet snatching up every obtainable point. Chucktown Bruiser, Sour Hour, Holly Hunter, Barney Rebel, Meg Riot, Rox Anne Stones, Owl Gore, and Starspangled BanGRR all take to the track to make up a formidable group of blockers.
