Tons of action on both coasts and a little in the middle as this weekend brings us two big roller derby conventions*: the Wild West Showdown in Bremerton, WA and Franky Panky in Tampa, FL. Meanwhile in the midwest we have North Central powerhouses Windy City and Detroit facing off on neutral ground somewhere in the middle of that state up north. The D.C. Rollergirls are the latest team to take the Twin City trip to face both leagues there.

This has been a tough week to pick, with lots of match ups between teams we don’t have much data for, some teams that so far look stronger or weaker than last year, and some seemingly even match ups. If you aren’t playing in one of these games this weekend, you better be watching these one one of the online outlets for streaming video (links will be added as we become aware of them).

Tank pulls ahead of Speed Bump for the lead on the season after a 4-1 week to Speed Bumps’ 3-2 last week.

In all seriousness- *no bracket, no tournament.
