The winter ice has melted, and home team action is heating up this weekend! April's about to get intense. The Denim Demons take on the Apocalypstix, and the Sake Tuyas are taking on the Toxic Shocks, so make sure you get in on all the double header action.
The Apocalypstix and Denim Demons face off in a battle for redemption. Both of these teams lost their previous games and will stop at nothing to take this game back to headquarters as the first win of the season.
Now that Atlanta’s home teams have been re-drafted, all bets are off. This is the first time these new teams have played each other, and one can only guess the outcome based on individual player strengths... for now. Apocalypstix jammer Trouble MakeHer will be up to her old tricks - sneaking around outside edges and powering through Demon walls. Although Demons blocker Helga G. Pa-SMACK-i may have something to say about that. She sticks to jammers better than the velcro holding up their elbow pads.
Which team will you root for? Do you stand with those stylishly vicious ladies ushering in the apocalypse? Or would you rather see the apocalypse be overrun by demons in blue? Choose wisely.

Sake Tuyas vs. Toxic Shocks
This game could mean the beginning of an undefeated season for one of these teams. Who will come out on top? The Sake Tuyas have formidable blockers like Desi Scarnaz and Rudy Huxtabrawl, but the Toxic Shocks feature speed demon jammers like Nora Gretz and Afro Dykee. Something has got to give, and these skaters are about the lay it all out on the track in a battle to the finish.
This is the first matchup between these two teams- prior games will hold no stock in this battle for control of the Atlanta home team territory. Will the Sakes ninja their way to the top? Or will the Shocks drop the bomb on the competition?
