Encyclopedia
The Renegade Rollergirls (RRG) is a non-WFTDA-member women's roller derby
league based in Phoenix, Arizona
. The league was established in 2004 when several girls from multiple Phoenix leagues broke away in hopes to start a new league.
The Renegade League is a faster-paced game with no penalties and no referees to stop game play. They highlight each skater's skill while displaying moves which are considered "outlawed" by WFTDA leagues. The Renegade skaters all play by the motto "Any Surface. Any Time" and will play any team on concrete, wood, banked, sport court, or the middle of the street.
Game play involves a single whistle blown, at which all skaters begin to skate around the track. The first jammer to break through the pack becomes the Lead Jammer and is able to call off the jam at any time by placing her hands on her hips (although in Renegade bouts, this strategy is rarely used). Each time the jammer laps the pack, 3 points are awarded as opposed to regular roller derby where a single point is gained per skater passed.
Game play includes several outlawed moves which include tripping, slide tackles and upper and lower body checks. Bouts are known for being brutal and fight filled.
