Dust Devil Invitational

03/16/2020

With heavy hearts, Tucson Roller Derby has currently suspended all scrimmages and practices through the end of the month. It is our responsibility to keep our skaters, refs, NSOs, and volunteers as safe as we can. We also believe that TRD has a civic duty to do what we can as a league to mitigate health risks to communities outside of our own, by following all recommendations for physical distancing in this uncertain time.

In addition to suspending league practices, we must also postpone the Dust Devil Invitational Tournament. This tournament has been so essential to our league for years, but in light of the current situation, there is no other option. All participating leagues, officials, and volunteers have been notified. We have the intention of rescheduling this event for the fall, pending our capacity as well as WFTDA decisions regarding sanctioned games for the remainder of the season. While things are still uncertain, we hope for Dust Devil to still be an event to look forward to later in the year.

Our hearts are with everyone in the derby community who has been, and continues to be, affected by COVID-19, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Dust Devil 2020 and COVID-19

TRD friends, family, and fans:

This year’s Dust Devil tournament is currently ON! At this point, we plan to hold the tournament as planned. Should circumstances change, such as a major outbreak here in Tucson or multiple teams cancelling, we will provide an update.

We are encouraging both skaters and officials to stay home if they are sick to minimize risk of illness. Should it be necessary, we are considering options such as holding unsanctioned games (if teams are down skaters) or possibly holding games without spectators. We will work closely with WFTDA in this regard.

At the event, we will have a plentiful supply of sanitizers for hands, gear, and surfaces. We are also encouraging folks to minimize contact and wash their hands frequently.

Thanks so much for your support!
