Photo by "O'Durgy" Charm City Roller Girls (Baltimore, Maryland). Contemporary roller derby is an American -invented contact sport with roots in sports entertainment . The game is based on formation roller skating around an oval track by two teams. Points are scored as the designated scoring player (the "jammer") of both teams each laps members of the opposing team, including its "blockers," hence offense and defense typically occur simultaneously. Roller derbies were originally straightforward amateur or professional (paid) endurance races on roller skates which were popular from the 1880s into the 1920s. A popular, multi-day touring exhibition of such races began in 1935 during the Great Depression , which simulated cross-country races by professional, two-person, male-female teams. Soon thereafter the teams were restructured, a point-scoring system was enacted, the endurance aspect was abandoned, and forms of contact were allowed, creating the basic format that derby follows to this day.

Two deaths resulted from the six-day race: both the winner, William Donovan, and skater Joseph Cohen died shortly after the race was completed. Though the inquest that resulted from Cohen's death led to a recommendation for a law prohibiting roller skating activities exceeding four hours in length, a second six-day race was announced in May 1885.
