Referees

The Arch Rival Roller Girls Referee crew was first assembled on a cold February night in 2006. Since that day, their goal has been to perfect the art of officiating the organized chaos that is women's flat track roller derby. Joining the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) in September of '07 brought the ARRG Referees to the 'Big Show'. Further developing their techniques and procedures through standard rules and practices, the WFTDA gives a roller derby officiating crew unmatched rink cred. and legitimacy.

Our mission statement:

"As referees for the Arch Rival Roller Girls, we promise to maintain a safe environment while upholding the latest version of Women's Flat Track Derby Association rules. We will continue to sharpen our skills and evolve our techniques in order to have smooth, safe and impartial bouts".

It takes a unique individual to have the nerves of steel, attention to detail and raw sex appeal that is needed to be an ARRG referee. The individuals listed on this page have been bout tested and derby girl approved.

The most recent evolution of the ARRG officiating crew is the addition of the Rivarly Regulators, which is the Non Skating Officials (NSO) unit. These individuals are present to protect and serve the intergity of the each game and keep our bouts running smoothly. Positions such as Jam Timer, Penalty Recorder, Penalty Timer, Official Score Recorder fall under our NSO unit. You will identify them with their FBI inspired uniform.

As for the striped Referees, these are the choosen few who call penalties, award points and maintain the safe environment for the players. These eagle eyed, buttery smooth skaters hold such positions as Jam Referee (2 per bout), Inside Pack Referee (1 per bout) and Outside Pack Referee (3 per bout).
