* denotes that the challenge hall is closed for these bouts. From what I've heard, apparently some people within either the Kitsap County government, Bremerton government or maybe even both had a bone to pick with the names of the teams in these bouts. Hooray for free speech, keeping an open mind, having a sense of humor and individualism!


** denotes that this challenge bout will be held in the main hall.


Tickets sell for $15 on Friday and $25 on Saturday and Sunday. Or you can buy tickets for all three days and save money in the process for $55. Which if you just watch the sanctioned bouts, comes in at a little over $2 for each game. How many other sports can you watch for just $2 each?


Either which way, this weekend is going to be chalk-full of roller derby thrills, spills and chills. If you're in the Bremerton area or are just trying to think of something fun and new to do this weekend, checking out Wild West Showdown should definitely be on your agenda!
