Mad Rollin' Dolls (MRD) is a women's flat-track roller derby league based in Madison, Wisconsin. Founded in 2004, MRD is a founding member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), and was the fourth league to join the fledgling organization. Since 2006, Mad Rollin' Dolls have qualified for WFTDA Playoffs and/or Championships every year.
Mad Rollin' Dolls was started in 2004 by "Crackerjack," whose sister "Lucille Brawl" had helped found Texas Rollergirls in Austin, Texas, and "Pamdemonium." Currently, the organization has a four-team home league that competes for an annual championship. The league also has two travel teams that compete internationally. Mad Rollin' Dolls games in Madison are held at the Alliant Energy Center and have been known to sell out, with crowds of 1500 people.
MRD has both an all-star and B interleague team, the Dairyland Dolls, which are composed of skaters from the four home teams. These teams compete against other WFTDA and non-WFTDA leagues across the United States.
Starting in 2008, the Mad Rollin' Dolls added a 2nd travel team, Team Unicorn. Their first bout was in Hamilton, ON on July 26, 2008.
MRD is composed of four home teams; the Quad Squad, the Reservoir Dolls, the Unholy Rollers and the Vaudeville Vixens.
League Champions by year are:
MRD also includes a recreational league in Madison, originally known as the Mad Wreckin' Dolls and re-named Madison Wreckers Roller Derby in 2016.
At the first WFTDA Championships, the 2006 Dust Devil tournament, Madison placed 7th overall. The following year at the first WFTDA Eastern Regional Tournament in Columbus, Ohio, the "Heartland Havoc" event, Madison did not get past the second round.
In October 2008 the Mad Rollin' Dolls hosted that year's East Region Playoff, "Derby in Dairyland". At that tournament, Madison won their opening game against the Minnesota Rollergirls 143-67, but then lost in the quarterfinals to Gotham Girls Roller Derby of New York, 138-70. Following a win against Grand Raggidy Roller Girls and a narrow loss to Boston Derby Dames, Madison finished the weekend in 6th place.
