Rules Updates and Release of Rules Booklets and Mobile Apps

March 18, 2015

The WFTDA Rules Committee has released a Second Edition of the digital versions of the January 1, 2015, Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby.

The Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby - January 1, 2015 Second Edition

The Second Edition includes all previously released errata, as well as the following corrections to rules references in the original document:

  • The reference in rule 1.11.2.2 has been corrected to Section 1.11.1.4.
  • The reference in rule 3.2.1 has been corrected to Section 2.1.2.
  • The references in rule 5.10.5.3 have been corrected to Sections 5.10.5 and 5.10.6, respectively.
  • The reference in rule 8.2.6.3 has been corrected to Sections 8.2.6.1.2 - 8.2.6.1.8. (This was also incorrect in the Errata released January 1, 2015, which has subsequently been corrected.)
  • The reference in the glossary definition for “Point of No Return” has been corrected to Section 6.2.2.1.1.

Rules Central has been updated to include the Second Edition of the Rules online and in PDF formats. An updated line-by-line document, comparing the June 13, 2014 rules and Second Edition, also has been added to Rules Central.

MRDA will also release a Second Edition of the MRDA version of the Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby.

In addition, the iOS and Android versions of the WFTDA Rules mobile application will automatically update with the Second Edition of the Rules, as well as the updated officiating documents released in 2015. Updated content will be available in the app stores and will be pushed out to current users.

The First Edition of the January 1, 2015, Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby and Appendix A: Track Specifications are now available for sale in the WFTDA Store. Those who purchase the booklets should download the the Rules Edits and Omissions document on the Edits and Omissions page and reference the Errata page to keep current with any corrected content.
