Talk:Sacramento Roller Derby

Founded date
I largely maintained text and information from the two original league articles when performing the merge. I opted to rename the old Sac City page, as the (slightly) older of the two leagues, and because Sacred was formed originally by former Sac City members, so merged Sacred's article into this one. For the founding date, I have changed that back to 2006, given a) both leagues were formally established in 2006, and b) effectively this merger is a continuation of both leagues' histories. While not specifically stated, given that Sacred was started by an offshoot of Sac City in 2006, I interpreted this merger as effectively "undoing that split" from 2006. I also understand that while both leagues were very close in the November 2016 rankings, the merged league will effectively be assuming the Sac City spot in the rankings with the next release, and given that I felt maintaining the 2006 founding date in infobox reflects that history.

 * I definitely agree with the merger. Unlike many similar mergers, the league is presenting itself as a new entity, rather than a continuation of one or the other predecessors, so perhaps a 2018 founding date would make sense, with the history of the two merged leagues appropriately given for context?

 * I was waiting for the December 31 rankings release before commenting further, and it came out today: . The new name of Sacramento appears in the rankings at 64th overall, and shows a -2 change from the November ranking, suggesting that the WFTDA is treating this merger as a continuation of at least one of these leagues. In that November ranking #62 was Sacred City, and interestingly enough Sac City was at 58th; the WFTDA appears to have elected to align the merged organization with the rankings history of the lower-ranked of the two.
 * My other thought about the usage of the 2006 founding date is that it would seem visually jarring to show a 2018 founding date in the infobox and then all this history below dating back for 12 previous years; unless there was a tidy way to list both years in the infobox with notes?
