Bux-Mont dominates Rainbow Roll 2026, Circle City wins thriller in Detroit
Bux-Mont went 3-0 in Detroit, capped by a 148-139 win over Detroit B, while Circle City beat Detroit B 146-145 in the weekend’s lone one-point thriller.
Bux-Mont Roller Derby left Rainbow Roll 2026 as the clear standard after sweeping three games in Detroit, Michigan, including a 148-139 win over Detroit B that closed the weekend. The invitational, hosted by Detroit Roller Derby on June 27 and June 28, also produced the sharpest finish of the bracket: Circle City edged Detroit B 146-145 in the only one-point game on the board.
Bux-Mont set the tone immediately. It opened with a 181-147 win over Akron Roller Derby and followed that with a 135-97 rout of Circle City, margins that put the Sellersville, Pennsylvania club in control before Sunday’s final slate even began. By the end of the first day, Bux-Mont had already looked like the team to beat, and the scores backed it up.
Detroit B, the home team in the mix, could not match that pace. Ranked 43rd in NA Northeast entering the weekend, Detroit B opened with a 136-110 loss to Akron and then fell to Bux-Mont 148-139. Akron, ranked 44th, showed enough punch to beat both Detroit B and Circle City, while Circle City, ranked 51st, spent most of the weekend on the wrong side of the margins before flipping the script at the end.
Sunday’s results made the hierarchy even clearer. Bux-Mont stayed perfect against Detroit B, Akron handled Circle City 151-124, and then Circle City squeezed out Detroit B by a single point, 146-145. That last game stood apart from the rest of the tournament, where the scores had mostly been decided by double digits. In a weekend of lopsided outcomes, one jam and one missed stop were enough to decide the final box score.
The rankings framed the field before the first whistle. Bux-Mont entered at 36th in NA Northeast, the same level it had reached in its highest regional ranking in May 2026, while Detroit B’s highest-ever regional mark was 21st in February 2023. Circle City’s stop in Detroit was part of a Socialites round robin with Detroit B, Bux-Mont Roller Derby and Akron Roller Derby, and the format delivered three games apiece for the four clubs. Detroit Roller Derby marked its 20th year in 2026, giving the weekend a local milestone to go with a clean read on the competitive order.
