How to Book Roller Derby Arenas

Hi, this is Jerry Seltzer roller derby commissioner for Expert Village. It was very interesting how we used to book roller derby. First of all we would check every television station, we were on across America and we were on 120 in various cities. And then we would check the ratings that would determine how popular we were in each market. Then and this was before computers we would take every major arenas schedule and try and figure a method in which we could go from one city to the other, tear down our track which took about 2 hours, set it up again which took about 4 hours, skate the game. Then again do the whole piggy back procedure tearing down the track, putting it on the truck and driving to the next city. And the skaters would go from city to city by car because that is actually what they preferred. It was really an amazing thing and the fact that it worked is amazing to me now that I think about it.
