Women's Flat Track Derby Association Division 3

The Women's Flat Track Derby Association Division 3 (WFTDA Division 3) is the third level of play in women's flat track roller derby.

Organisation

The division consists of the members of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association with ranks below 100. The rankings are set at the start of each year, based on performance over the previous year. Although rankings are updated during the year, teams will only transfer between divisions at the start of each year. Teams which graduate from the WFTDA Apprentice Program during the year are placed in Division 3.

Historically, the WFTDA instead operated four regions: East, North Central, South Central and West. At the start of 2013, these were redivided into three divisions, each operating worldwide. However, foreseeing continued growth in membership, the WFTDA stated that future developments were likely to include new regional structures alongside the divisional system.^[1]

Although there is no end-of-year Division 3 Playoff, teams in Division 3 can qualify for one of the end-of-year playoff tournaments if they are ranked in WFTDA's top sixty at the end of June each year.^[1]
