“CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: BATTLE ON THE BANK II”
SECOND ANNUAL INVITATIONAL BANKED-TRACK ROLLER DERBY TOURNAMENT ROLLS INTO AUSTIN, TX JUNE 20-21, 2009

Save the date, roller derby fanatics! At the Austin Convention Center this coming summer, the TXRD–Lonestar Rollergirls will host “Capital Punishment: Battle on the Bank II,” a two-day banked-track rollerderby tournament where the fiercest roller derby leagues from across the nation will duke it out mano a mano in the sweltering Texas heat. This all-out interleague brawl will showcase some of the top roller derby stars in the U.S., attracting both ferocious banked-track leagues and merciless flat-track leagues who are itchin’ to make their presence known on the bank.

If you thought the historic, first ever banked-track tournament, “Battle on the Bank” in Los Angeles last year was a good time, wait ’til you see it done Texas-style. This time around, many of the same leagues will be anxious to hit the track, ready to draw new blood and reclaim glory. Featured leagues include TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls, LA Derby Dolls, San Diego Derby Dolls, Arizona Derby Dames, Red Dirt Rebellion Rollergirls, Team Legit, Vegas Renegades, and Hurricane Alley Roller Derby. Saturday will see the initial throw-downs, and the victors will move on to Sunday, when just one champion will receive the title.

This rip-roaring event is for folks of all ages, and it ain’t just a fast-paced skater smackdown. “Battle on the Bank II” will also feature a Vendor Village, where fans and skaters alike can pick up one-of-a-kind gifts and skate gear between the bouts, as well as a Jeerleader Competition. Several local bands, including TXRD skater Chicle’s own Cruiserweight, will keep you soakin’ in sweat if the Texas heat don’t get ya first!

We are still seeking sponsors and vendors! For more information, please visit the tournament’s website at www.txrd.com/tourney or www.TXRD.com. See you on the track!
