Thank you to all of the announcers who are both the literal voice of the tournament and help give our event a soul.


Thank you to all of the officials, on and off the track. The amount of preparation and the amount of work during these games is so massive, and these folks make it seem effortless. 


Many thanks to the stats team who helped to power Code Adam's game and tournament statistics for the teams and the announcers. And to Code Adam himself for being a legend.


Thanks to Speedy with his assistance with sanity checking the ratings calculations and for general moral support across the tournament. And also Argo for making sure that Sam was properly hydrating throughout the tournament. 


Thanks to all of the talented photographers who capture the moments that could easily be missed with beautiful images for all to see. See the photos here.


Thank you to Blaque Jac for help running the RDWC merch table every. single. day.
Thank you to Andy and the streaming crew @ Real-Time Events who brought this event to the people who couldn't be here in person.


Thank you to all the volunteers who spent many hours leading up to the event, during the event and those who stayed well after, especially those who stepped up to fill extra shifts or wrangle an extra team. We had over ~300 volunteers from all over the world and this event could not be what it is without them.


There are so many people involved in orchestrating an event this large and we want to thank each and every one of you. We have undoubtedly missed many people who had pivotal roles at various points across the 5 tracks and 80 games, but you should all know that you have our deepest thanks.


We'd like to thank all of the sponsors whose support of roller derby is so appreciated. They're the ones that keep everyone rolling, everyone protected, and everyone looking great. Our major sponsors, S1 Helmets, SISU Mouthguards, 187 Killer Pads, Triple 8 and everyone else. And thank you to the funding partners that assisted the Fearless Bruisers. Your support means so much to us.


And of course, this event is nothing without the teams. The teams who spend months organizing, preparing, saving, practicing, and traveling around the world - to be here with all of us and to show us they have what it takes to be a part of the roller derby world cup. We adore you; you inspire us and many many others. See you at the next RDWC!
