On April 27 at the DC Armory, the DC All-Stars (WFTDA 42) hosted the Philly Roller Girls (WFTDA 9) Liberty Belles, returning the favor from last season. When these two teams met last August 11 in Philadelphia, the score was Philly 287, DC All-Stars 103. Although DC jumped out to an early lead, Philly's high-scoring powerjams and formidable defense kept DC from coming back.

The second bout of the evening saw the end of Scare Force One's two-and-a-half-season winning streak come to an end at the hand of the Cherry Blossom Bombshells. Although the Fright Attendants leapt out to a comfortable 57-point lead in the first 10 minutes of the game, the Bombshells spent the rest of the bout patiently erasing it to end on top at 189-171.

In the first bout of the day's doubleheader, the DC DemonCats battled the Majority Whips, who were riding high after nearly toppling the Scare Force juggernaut last month-and defeating the 'Cats earlier this season, 176-142. But the 'Cats were hungry to nab their first Season 7 win since edging the Whips in last season's third place game. After the DemonCats came back from a 33-point halftime deficit to trade the lead back and forth several times in the second half, the bout went down to the very last jam.

The first bout of the DC Rollergirls’ December 8 doubleheader saw the Cherry Blossom Bombshells facing off against the Majority Whips in what was unarguably the most exciting bout so far of Season 7. The Bombshells gained a sizable lead thanks to a couple of well-played back-to-back jams in the first half, but the Whips spent the rest of the bout chipping away at it, ultimately taking the lead with mere minutes left to play. It all came down to the final jam, where star Bombshell jammer Yankee Scandal brought home the 123-117 victory for her team.

The second bout of December 8’s doubleheader at the DC Armory pitted the DC DemonCats, looking for their first win in Season 7, against Scare Force One, as undefeated in Season 7 as they were for the prior two seasons. While the DemonCats showed early promise in keeping the score low and staying within catch-up distance, several huge powerjams facilitated the Fright Attendants’ climb to a winning altitude from which they would never descend.

The first bout of November 17′s double-header at the Dulles SportsPlex was a repeat of last May’s championship, in which Scare Force One handily dispatched the Cherry Blossom Bombshells by 124 points. While this meeting at first looked to be anyone’s game with an opening run of neck-and-neck jammer races, the bout was ultimately won (and lost) on some major powerjams, where a combination of skill and luck sent Scare Force home with the 285-142 victory.
