2x4 Roller Derby is a roller derby league based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Founded in 2010, the league consists of three teams that play against each other: Bully Chicks, Cowgirls From Hell and Bloody Furias. It is also represented by two travel teams (Team OSOM and Las Pibas) that play against travel teams from other leagues. 2x4 Roller Derby is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).
History
The league was originally founded in June 2010 as Roller Derby Argentina, but was soon renamed as the Bully Chicks Roller Derby, then by the end of the year as 2x4 Roller Derby. Bully Chicks was re-used as the name of one of its home teams, representing the city centre.[1]
It is the first roller derby league in Argentina, and when the Argentina All Stars team was created to play in the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup, most of its skaters belonged to 2x4 Roller Derby. The rest of the national squad were skaters based in the United States.[2]
By 2012, 2x4 Roller Derby was one of three leagues in Argentina,[3] and it organised a major training camp, bringing three top derby skaters to Argentina.[4]
In April 2013, the league was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program.[5]
In February 2016, it was promoted as WFTDA Class C member,[6] becoming the first WFTDA Full Member of Argentina.
