Official Referee Hand Signals
The game of Flat Track Roller Derby is much easier to understand when you know what the Official Referees are
saying. You will find all the calls you will see at an official bout on the WFTDA website. Referees
and Rollergirls alike are required to know and understand all of the calls listed here. Some of the calls are pictured below.
Thanks to our Past Referees: Peppi Ref'ue, General Anesthesia, Rotten Ramoana, Preacher, Skid Vicious, Sadistic Sonic, Mad Madge, Barry M. Later, Isis Spector, Toll Booth, Tirade Banks, and Ref Rider
