North Central Region (WFTDA)

The Women's Flat Track Derby Association's North Central Region was formed in 2008[1] when WFTDA changed from having just two regional tournaments (East and West), to five, made up of teams from four regions: East, North Central, South Central and West.[2]

WFTDA North Central Region

Members in the central part of the Canada Region competed in the North Central Region.[3] For 2011, the region was reduced in size, with teams in Nebraska moving to the South Central Region.[4]

WFTDA has now moved away from the Big 5 WFTDA Championships qualification tournament structure, last competed in 2012. Starting with the 2013 WFTDA season, the regions were discontinued in favour of an overall-rankings based system, and a new playoff format was created.
