With the Women's Flat Track Derby Association South Central Regionals a little over a month away, the Texas Rollergirls' traveling Texecutioners squad gets one last major chance for national level competition this weekend at the Golden Bowl in California.

The B.A.D. Girls have invited Texas, 2010 WFTDA national hosts the Windy City Rollers, and the Detroit Derby Girls to slog to out in this three day round robin. Now it may be a little bit late to get over to Oakland for tonight's opening match, but the bouts are tentatively scheduled to be broadcast via Derby News Network.

Here's the schedule (all times central):

Friday
9pm Texecutioners versus Detroit
11pm Windy City versus Bay Area

Saturday
8pm Detroit versus Windy City
10pm Texecutioners versus Bay Area

Sunday
1pm Detroit versus Bay Area
3pm Texecutioners versus Windy City
