CALLING ALL WRITERS!
The Minnesota RollerGirls would like to recruit an impartial fan to write brief bout recaps for use on the Minnesota RollerGirls web site and in Minnesota RollerGirls press releases. You should: love derby and understand the game well enough to be able to write about its intricacies, not be solidly behind one team (or be able to set those allegiances aside to write an impartial recap), be available to attend all home bouts for the remainder of this season and all of next season (schedule unknown at this time), and be able to turn around each recap within 48 hours after every bout.

In return, you will get one trackside season ticket for next season, free trackside admission to the remaining two bouts this season, a special press pass (that will enable you to roam the sidelines), and name credit on the recaps posted on our web site.

Please send a writing sample in the form of a recap (200-400 words) of one of this season's bouts to norahtorious@mnrollergirls.com by 11pm, Saturday, March 18. Make sure your email has the subject line: Recap Writer Submission.

The selected writer will be notified on Monday, March 20th and is expected to attend the bout on Friday, March 24 and write the recap by March 26.

CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT: SATURDAY, APRIL 15
On Saturday, April 15th, the Minnesota RollerGirls will close out their regular bout season with a championship finale. The two top-ranked teams will battle it out for first and second place, and the third and fourth ranked teams will fight for the third-place ranking. Seeding will be determined after the March 24th bout and the lineups will be published on our web site and in Derby Dish. Also stay tuned for special event announcements surrounding our last bout of the season!

MINNESOTA ROLLERGIRLS IN COKE AD
If you've been watching NASCAR lately, you may have seen some familiar faces skating by on your screen. The Minnesota RollerGirls are one of the clips featured in a new ad campaign by Coca-Cola and NASCAR! Footage from one of our bouts (featuring the Garda Belts and Rockits) was used in the creative, long-format ad that debuted during the Daytona 500 on February 19th.
