The Great Southern Slam

The Great Southern Slam The largest roller derby tournament in the Southern Hemisphere, hosted by Adelaide Roller Derby. The first TGSS was held in 2010. Need to get in contact?
(1)

The Great Southern Slam was birthed from an idea to bring leagues across Australian and New Zealand together under one roof, offering the opportunity to compete against one another; a chance that many rural and/or remote leagues did not receive. It has since become a biennial event that showcases the largest roller derby tournament in the world. General info: [email protected]
