[18] League committees include: Administration, Bout Production, Events, Merchandising, Public Relations, Referees, Sponsorship, Coaching, Tech, and Venues.

Although skaters are all women, non-binary or gender expansive people who feel that a WFTDA team best fits their identity,[19] men are involved in all other league roles, such as skating and non-skating officials, support crew and announcers.

[29] They entered the competition as the tenth seed, and finished in fifth place – then the largest jump by a bottom-ranked team in WFTDA playoff history.

In summer of 2008, three permanent home league teams were formed: The Steam Rollers, The Suffra Jets, and the Ultraviolent Femmes.
