the columbia quad squad are in black and nrv in pink. in this pict you can see the girl with the red helmet sneaking up the outside of the lane. she's what they call the jammer (and she's on the quad squad). she'll score points for her team if she passes opposing players. boy, was she a zippy little woman!
this is pretty much what it looked like the whole time. just a blur.
it's actually a fairly complicated game. you see the number of referees that are out there? it really takes some careful watching to see who is illegally hitting each other and how many people the jammers are passing.
here you can see the opposing team's jammer (with the star on her helmet) sneaking by.
the quad squad took the game. i think they have a pretty good record. but someone in the crowd told us that the other local team, the richland county regulators are better. we'll just have to check that out ourselves. i definitely think that the hubby and i will check out more games in the future.

How cool that it is in a gymnasium!
When you come to Chicago (hint hint), we'll take you to a Windy City Rollers game--it's in an arena and there's beer!
It's not actually a gymnasium... its a huge venue that holds CQS's near 1,000 fan base that ritually come to every bout. And they also serve beer and tailgate in the parking lot. i'd be excited to see the windy city rollers if i ever make it that way.
you may be disappointed when you go to see that other columbia team (the regulators)... they've played cqs three times in the past 18 months and lost every time by an average margin of more than 50 points each time... in fact, the last time the two teams played, they were losing 40-0 at one point! and their venue doesn't really match up either... but you should definitely check it out for yourself.
