During event we will announce 3 “plugs” provided by the Visiting Team (must provide at least 10 days prior to Event). For example: an upcoming fundraiser your league is holding, recruiting announcement, etc.
• Uniforms/Numbers: SCDG league colors are royal black and blue; therefore Visiting teams may wear any color other than black or blue tops.

• Family Event: SCDG maintains a policy to adhere to a “PG to PG-13” guideline of representation of the individual skater, team or league behavior. While roller derby is an exciting sport and illicits strong player and fan reaction; lewd behavior such as excessive use of explicit language or gestures will result in immediate ejection of the participating skaters from the bout. Audience members, support staff and affiliates are also expected to adhere to these guidelines.
