Pacific Roller Derby Presents: Battle of the Islands - Day 1 September 28, 2012

Hawaii Pacific Roller Derby is proud to host Part II of the Battle of the Islands Roller Derby Tournament which features the state’s top roller derby teams from Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. The tournament is a continuation of the first ever BOI held in Hilo by the Paradise Roller Girls earlier this summer. BOI is a twice-annual tournament that will rotate amongst the islands to spread the love of roller derby across the isles, while allowing each league to come together in one city to bout all of the islands, instead of traveling to each major derby destination.

BOI is structured to allow each league’s A-Teams and All-Star Teams to compete against each other in tournament style brackets while allowing the newer leagues and B-Teams to gain competitive experience on the flat-track. Featured leagues include:

Paradise City Roller Girls (Hawaii Island)
Pacific Roller Derby (Oahu)
Maui Roller Girls (Maui)
Garden Island Renegade Rollerz (Kauai)
Aloha City Rollers (Oahu)
Maui Owies (Maui)
The Bizz-nass (Oahu)
BEE-Team (All island ‘B’-Team)

The two day tournament will take place at two different venues. Two full length bouts take place on Friday, September 28 at Palama Settlement at 7pm. The next morning, on Saturday, September 29, expect to see a number of mini bouts with the Championship Bout taking place at 4:30pm at the outdoor hockey rink at Kamiloiki Park in Hawaii Kai.
