Is This The Real National Championship?

The USA Roller Sports organization (USARS) will hold its National Championship of Roller Derby in Tulsa, OK later this month.

Regional winners will convene in Tulsa the weekend of Oct. 25-27 to choose their version of the national champion.

While not the only sanctioning body for women’s roller sports, the USARS is recognized internationally and is the organization that is taking the point in trying to get roller derby recognized as an Olympic sport.

The winner of the USARS National Championship is awarded the Seltzer Cup, named after Leo Seltzer, the man credited with inventing the sport.
