WFTDA has released regional rankings for the third quarter of 2011. As has been traditional with the rankings cycle that follows the regional playoff tournaments, the top ten in each region reflect the results of the Playoffs. The one exception is in the East Region, where the Dutchland Derby Rollers are ranked at #9, one slot lower than where they finished in the East Region Playoffs. In addition to tournament results, the third quarter rankings reflect the results of WFTDA-sanctioned games played through Sept. 30, 2011. WFTDA member leagues vote on rankings within their respective regions using game data.
