The opening game of the 2013 WFTDA Championship tournament featured Atlanta Rollergirls’ Dirty South Derby Girls versus the London Rollergirls’ London Brawling. Audience members in the packed arena counted down the seconds to the first whistle. Atlanta’s Jammunition lined up against London’s Kamikaze Kitten, and despite losing two blockers to the box in the opening seconds of the jam, Kami grabbed lead jammer. Brawling blockers spent more time in the box during the first half, and that translated into the 17-point deficit the women from London found themselves with at the half.
