Women's Flat Track Derby Association WFTDA Women's Flat Track Derby Association logo Sport Founded 2004 No. Organization In 2004, the United Leagues Coalition ULC was an informal electronic through which established leagues compared notes in order to prepare for inter-league play, and it was also used to exchange information to help new leagues that were just getting started. The ULC evolved into a more formal organization in July 2005, when representatives of 20 leagues met in to discuss establishing a governing body for women's flat-track roller derby. At the meeting, a voting system was established, as was a set of goals, and a timeline established for facilitating inter-league play. Among these goals was the production of a standard track design, and standard game rules. The design and rules were settled upon and distributed later that year. In November 2005, the ULC voted to change its name to the Women's Flat Track Derby Association WFTDA , with initial membership of 22 leagues soon expanded to 30 members by early 2006. In early 2006, a track design and rules were published on the organization's fledgling website. On 15 August 2007, the WFTDA announced it had struck a deal with the network to record, edit and broadcast the 2007 as a weekly series of 12 one-hour episodes one episode per bout. In September 2007, the WFTDA was admitted to USARS as a Class V member — a national amateur roller skating organization — and a WFTDA delegate joined the USARS Board of Directors. The official WFTDA magazine fiveonfive began publication in September 2008. In November, it was announced that for 2009, WFTDA member leagues would be divided into four regions, rather than two: West, , , and East. Each region has a tournament scheduled, followed by a national championship. In April 2009, the WFTDA published revised rules, WFTDA Rules 4. The revised rule-set became effective for all WFTDA sanctioned bouts on 1 June 2009. At the start of 2013, the geographic regions were replaced with three divisions, each operating worldwide. However, foreseeing continued growth in membership, the WFTDA stated that future developments were likely to include new regional structures alongside the divisional system.

Main article: Each year a series of playoffs are held, based on the June 30 rankings. While the top four teams as of June 30 get an immediate bye to Championships, the next 24 teams are seeded into two Playoff Tournaments, with the top three finishers at each advancing to Championships. This was down from the top 36 teams competing in three Division 1 Playoffs in 2017, when the top four finishers from each tournament advanced to Championships without any bye teams. Succeeding lower-ranked teams are then seeded into geographically-based Continental Cups, replacing the former system, which in 2017 saw the next 16 eligible teams compete in a single Playoff Tournament, with the winner crowned the Division 2 champion. In 2018, there will be two Continental Cups in North America, separated as West and East and featuring a combined total of 24 teams, and one Continental Cup in Europe featuring an additional eight teams. Main articles: , , and In 2013 WFTDA changed systems from a regional, poll-based format released quarterly to a system based on the competitive ranking of teams using game results. When the organization did so, WFTDA introduced competitive and expanded the playoff tournament structure. After the November 30 rankings release of each year, each league was placed within a competitive division for the next 12 months based on their charter team's rank. The leagues remained in their division for 12 months, no matter what their rank was in subsequent rankings releases. Through 2016, the top 40 leagues from the November 30 rankings were placed in , the leagues ranked 41-100 from 2015, those ranked 41-60 were put in , and through 2014 all other member leagues were grouped in. A league's division placement determined the game play minimums for their WFTDA charter team in the following year. A Division 1 team needed to play no less than four WFTDA Sanctioned games, with at least three of those games against other Division 1 opponents and the fourth against either a Division 1 or Division 2 opponent, before June 30 of the following year. A Division 2 team needed to play a minimum of three WFTDA Sanctioned bouts, two against Division 1 or 2 opponents and the third against an opponent in any division. A Division 3 team needed to play a minimum of two WFTDA Sanctioned games against any opponents in order to maintain rankings. Division placement did not affect which playoffs a team qualified for, only minimum game play requirements. If a Division 2 or 3 team moved up the rankings into the top 40 at the time of tournament seeding that team would be invited to Division 1 Playoffs. Similarly, a Division 1 team moving down the rankings would receive an invitation befitting the team's rank at the time of seeding. In 2017, the WFTDA adjusted the Division system and reduced the number of Playoff tournaments. The top 36 eligible teams qualified for one of three Division 1 Playoff tournaments, with 12 teams at each, and the top four at each event advanced to WFTDA Championships. The next 16 teams ostensibly teams ranked 37 through 52, if all met eligibility requirements and accepted their invitation competed at a single Division 2 Playoff, which included the Division 2 championship. In 2018 Division 1 play reduced to two tournaments and teams ranked fifth through 28th, with the top four advancing directly to Championships, and another 32 teams play for Continental Cups in North America and Europe, replacing the Division 2 structure.
