"We truly appreciate the partnership with and support from WFTDA," said Alex "bmd" Cline, Chair of the JRDA Rules Advisory Committee, "which furthers the goal of both organizations to create consistency in derby officiating. The licensing model allows JRDA to make the necessary adjustments to help ensure skater safety and promote a learning environment, while giving the most unique youth athletes in the world opportunity for exiting play. We look forward to continued and growing cooperation with WFTDA, which helps prepare youth skaters for adult play and creates a nearly seamless transition for officials working in both spaces.”
