Roughhouse Rubies It Is

Thanks to everyone.... uh... I mean.... thanks to Shelley for voting. :)

I actually liked Pistol Whips the best because a whip is a derby "move" so that team name had a play on words too. RHR was my second choice though. Honestly, I don't care what we're called as long as I don't have to wear a pink t-shirt and get my ass kicked by a Canadian. :)

Time To Vote!

Today, Calculating Beetch (that's me!), was officially added to the roster of 20 players for the Apr - Jun 2009 bouting session. Yay! The bouting season is divided into two sessions btw - the second session runs Jul - Sept 2009. Our first scrimmage is March 15 and our first official bout is April 19. No specific details on locations, times, etc. yet - I will post those as soon as I know.

So, now that we have a roster we need a team name! FYI, the Gem City Rollergirls is a league and anyone who pays their monthly dues is a league member. The bouting team is chosen by our coach, Harry Brawls, (bah ha ha!) based on abilities displayed during practice, dedication to the league, and the desire to kick some derby girl ass. After the roster of 20 is known, the girls select a team name which sets them apart from the league's general population. A completely different roster can be chosen for the second session... being on the first session roster does not guarantee that I will make the second one so I will have to work hard to keep some other chickie from taking my spot! Who knew derby was so complicated? lol Anyway, the more creative girls (this does not include me) have been brainstorming on our GCRG forum and have narrowed our team name down to these three choices:

(1) Molotov Bombshells
(2) Roughhouse Rubies
(3) Pistol Whips

I think I know which one I will be choosing. I am just curious what everyone else thinks so please let me know which one you like. :)
