And then there were 31. Since its initial formation, the Women's Flat Track Derby Association has been a closed shop. Not to be exclusive, but to keep things under control while they suffered the growing pains of establishing a nation-wide organization. A couple months ago, the WFTDA opened up for new membership applications and lo, Baltimore's Charm City Roller Girls has announced that they've been accepted as the first new league. Congratulations ladies! You'll lead the way for the new class of leagues...and we all look forward to seeing some kickass WFTDA tournaments next year!
