https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Nations_Roller_Derby_Championships:
The Five Nations Roller Derby Championships is an annual competition for roller derby leagues in the United Kingdom. The tournament originated as the End of the World Series, a 2012 league of six roller derby teams in central England. The success of this competition led it to expand in 2013 under the new name of the Heartland Series, with twelve teams in two division, and it doubled in size again in 2014. In 2021, the competition rebranded as the Five Nations Roller Derby Championships. In 2015, the tournament partnered with the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) and was renamed as the British Roller Derby Championships. This greatly expanded competition consisted of 72 teams playing across several tiers, making it the largest roller derby competition in Europe. For the first time, it accepted teams from across the UK, including a separate competition for men's teams.
