WFTDA status[edit]

As of October 2011, the league is still an Apprentice league, not full member in WFTDA. The news story cited does not make this distinction, but a check of the WFTDA membership list shows they are still listed there. And the WFTDA template used is for Apprentice, not member. Once full membership is attained, a followup entry about that should be added.

Can't wait to see in which geographical region Victoria is placed; depending on which way you are traveling around the world, east and west etc don't really apply here. Echoedmyron (talk) 17:10, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Box wall[edit]

Hello; I've been editing the article on Roller derby, which says that the "box wall" tactic is associated with this league. But there's nothing on it in this article, nor virtually anywhere Google can reach, that is not a copy of the text from the roller derby article. Can someone please either add an explanation to one of these pages or remove the citation at Roller derby? Spike-from-NH (talk) 03:37, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have now removed the mention of "box wall"; anyone is free to add it back if you can provide details and a citation. Spike-from-NH (talk) 04:55, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
