History

ROCK briefly merged with a league based in Richmond, Kentucky, but this was dissolved in late 2007, ROCK re-establishing an independent existence. It played its first exhibition game in December, and started its first full season in 2008.[2] At the time, it had two intraleague teams, the Bourbon Brawlers and Sour Scouts, although these were later dissolved.[3] By 2012, the league was playing an 11-game season, competing against leagues such as the Black-n-Bluegrass Rollergirls.[4]

Central Kentucky was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2012,[5] and it became a full WFTDA member in September 2013.[6]

gollark: I mean... yes, but ææææ?
gollark: It would be limited to 100ms of CPU per event or something, but you could have people trigger events and such too much.
gollark: Actually, hmm, people could maliciously invoke it a lot, but I suppose they would have to give it money so I'm not sure that's an awful issue.
