Last November, the Gotham Girls All-Stars ripped through the nation's best competition and came home with the 2008 WFTDA National Championship.  Can they do it again?

Get down to Philadelphia November 13-15 for the 2009 WFTDA National Championships ("Declaration of Derby") to root for the Gotham Girls All-Stars.

The timing of Gotham's potential matchups make for a convenient commute from the New York area.  Gotham's finest (#2 seed from the East Region) first take on the Detroit Derby Girls (#3 from the North Central) at 8:45pm on Friday Night, November 13.

The winner takes on the #1 seed from the West, the Oly Rollers of Olympia Washington, at 3:15pm on Saturday, November 14.  That bout's winner plays twice more -- first at 7:45pm against either Kansas City, Denver, or Windy City, and then either in Sunday's Championship bout at 4pm or the Consolation Bout at 1:30pm. 

Located in the heart of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Convention Center is adjacent to a major hotel and connected to the hub of the city’s public transportation system.
