And Bevan, I have to apologise but I've just heard from Pirate City that they are selling tickets through www.undertheradar.co.nz including a $40 season pass.

Thanks very much for the extra info Simon.

Currently, the only way to watch it is to buy a ticket – Pirate City are just kicking off their season, and as Hadyn mentions Richter City are selling tickets for their second bout now, so you should definitely check it out.

Brilliant! Ta very much for that.

That byline about me yelling a lot isn't a lie.

As someone who has watched a lot of sport with Hadyn over the past couple of years, I can attest it really, really isn't a lie

We’re thinking a fog-horn will be the best bet for her use next time,…

The ones we were using are metal, and believe me I was blowing as hard as I can – there’s also not a lot of ambiguity when a jammer…

We could hear you most of the time, Hadyn, so it wasn't the speaker system.

Be more constructive with your feedback, please. :)

From where we were sitting – just in front of where the Real Hot Bitches were standing – it was REALLY hard to hear Growler. We could hear you most of the time, Hadyn, so it wasn't the speaker system.

And can…

Word on the street is that I did three laps before realising that Boston (ref) had been yelling at me to go to the penalty box! ooops.

You weren't the only one Goldie, after the bout Boston came up to Jet and told her why she kept sending her to…

Chances are good the jam was over, but with the amount of crowd noise we had trouble hearing our own whistles, let alone getting the skaters to notice them.

I'm not sure how much noise you get at one of these events, but whistle quality is very important when refereeing…

There was so much more attitude on the track this time round. I guess the Grudgemaker was successful in making grudges.

And not just amongst the skaters- people were cheering players getting sent to the bin, and one of the biggest cheers was when someone blocked Suffer Jet onto her…

Yeah I was keeping watch of the lead jammer to see if she called off the jam (by placing her hands on her hips or, occasionally, crotch).

And sometimes bouncing her hands back up into a double bird.

I can definitely vouch for the noise of the crowd. Word on the street is that I did three laps before realising that Boston (ref) had been yelling at me to go to the penalty box! ooops.

heh, good times, she was just starting to look a little, hmm... frustrated?…

Anyway, it was an incredible night. So much fun, and thanks again to…

Chances are good the jam was over, but with the amount of crowd noise we had trouble hearing our own whistles, let alone getting the skaters to notice them.

Not to mention, those of us timing were having real trouble getting anyone to notice us calling 2 minutes being up.…

Odds are good that Hadyn and Tony were watching us/the jammer and the refs had stopped counting points (even if the skaters were still going).

Yeah I was keeping watch of the lead jammer to see if she called off the jam (by placing her hands on her hips or,…

one thing that did get me very confused was the couple of times you called a jam over prematurely, with the jammers still circling and chasing points.

I can probably help with this... Chances are good the jam was over, but with the amount of crowd noise we had trouble…

Rebuke by Conchords. Love it.

Personally I think you guys did a fine job. And given the event, I think it is great that everyone involved is an enthusiastic volunteer.

In the spirit of constructive criticism though, one thing that did get…

But we still have this situation where the ball gets to the wing and finds…forwards?

The backs crowd the midfield and we have almost equal groups of forwards on either side. I know Tony Woodcock likes sea gulling out on the wing, but this seems to be a bad tactic…

P.S: big ups to Megan

Not to mention for my mad score board skills, right? (Even if I did manage to constantly confuse Hadyn.)

Rugby wise, who was playing and what was the score? I suppose I could look it up, but completeness is good.

The game was between us and them. The score was quite a lot to not very much at all. But you're right I needed a link to a game…

Wow, there are a lot of fine details.

Yeah, the rules are fairly meaty.

8.4 The Jammer earns a point for each opposing skater who is not on the track immediately upon scoring her first point on an opposing blocker. If the jam ends before the Jammer scores, the…

I have a rules question I…

any skater in the penalty box has their point assigned to the rear-most player on their team, so the jammer only has to pass the one player for both points (or more)

Wow, there are a lot of fine details. We didn't tell the audience half the stuff, but turns…

You score points for passing opposition players so having skaters in the box (maximum of two) was almost an advantage at that point

Just noticed this – any skater in the penalty box has their point assigned to the rear-most player on their team, so the jammer only has to…

However, having changed my…

Shouldn't they be in a velodrome?

It's flat-track derby with completely different rules.

roller derby

Shouldn't they be in a velodrome?

So one team didn't really show up and it was a bit of a blow-out. And while I loved it (fucking luuurrrved it) it was a wee bit annoying. Were the All Blacks actually better than they were previously?
We kicked less, so that was good. We didn't lose a…
