The Silicon Valley Roller Girls' Dot.Kamikazes came out of their pool 2-1 after a day full o' derby  at The Big One tournament in Paso Robles, CA, today. Pool play today involved 20-minute bouts against each team in the pool.

Despite their roster being decimated by injuries and absences, the Dot.Kamikazes made a very strong showing their first day out, showing that they have a depth of talent. In their first round of pool play, SVRG handily defeated Derby Revolution of Bakersfield, 98-10. In the second round, SVRG narrowly lost to last year's champions, the San Diego Derby Dolls' Wildfires, 43-31.
