History

Mission City Roller Derby was founded in 2009.[2] The league's A-team, the Brawlin' Betties, competed in their first home bout on July 18, 2009 against the Ventura County Derby Darlins.[3]

Mission City Roller Derby became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2013.[4]

The league entered the WFTDA Apprentice Program in January 2015,[5] and was made a full member in September of the same year.[6]

gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: If you just doubled the number of people "involved in politics" by some loose definition by taking arbitrary random people, would this actually improve the political situation? I would be surprised if it did; I don't think most have some sort of unique original contribution, but just go for participating in shouting louder at other groups.
gollark: Possibly true but not very relevant.
gollark: You could probably argue that something something tragedy of the commons, but clearly there are a lot of people who do do politics and it is possible that adding more would actually worsen things.
gollark: Even if it is the case that if everyone ever ignored politics there would be problems, that doesn't mean that one person ignoring it is bad.
