By the end of next year, the Rules of Flat Track Derby will no longer allow skaters' roster and jersey numbers to include alphabetic characters. WFTDA member leagues voted to approve the changes in September, but they will not go into effect until December 2015 to ensure that teams have plenty of time to adopt the changes.

Gotham Girls Roller Derby, of New York, New York, narrowly defended their title of WFTDA Champions, their fourth consecutive year taking home the Hydra trophy and their fifth Championship title in WFTDA history.

While teams have been focused on wins on the track, some fans have been celebrating their own wins in the 2014 Bracket Bonanza games during the international 2014 WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs.
