Madison Roller Derby's Udder Chaos 2026 delivers lopsided weekend bouts

Ohio Roller Derby’s All Stars authored the biggest rout of Udder Chaos 2026, rolling past Windy City Rollers’ Second Wind 236-114 for a 122-point win that set the tone for a weekend packed with offense in DeForest. Madison Roller Derby moved its invitational to LEGACY20 Arena at DeForest Yards, 6251 Monticello Dr, and filled June 27 and June 28 with 12 bouts across two days.

The scoreboard lines were rarely tight. Root River Rollers opened by falling 173-127 to Ohio Roller Derby’s Gang Green, then Madison’s Dairyland Dolls were edged 156-150 by Windy City Second Wind in the weekend’s closest result. API Fury answered with a 174-166 victory over Gang Green, and Madison’s The Herd closed Saturday with a 234-154 win over Root River. Sunday widened the gap even further, with API Fury hammering Root River 264-117 and Ohio’s All Stars controlling Windy City by that 236-114 margin.

Madison’s teams saw both ends of the derby spectrum. The Herd lost a more competitive 159-136 bout to Gang Green, but still surrendered enough points to show how quickly Ohio’s pack pressure and API Fury’s finishing pushed games out of reach. Dairyland Dolls were held to 83 points in a 191-83 defeat against Ohio, a result that underscored how costly stalled scoring chances became once an opponent could turn one clean trip into a runaway.

The invite was built around multiple matchups rather than a single bracket final, giving each travel team several chances to test lineups and adjust on the fly. That structure fit the weekend’s pace: sanctioned bouts spread throughout both days, doors open at 8:00 a.m., and little margin for teams that could not contain the first scoring burst. By the end of Sunday, Ohio Roller Derby had the cleanest weekend profile, API Fury had shown the sharpest offense, and Madison had a mixed home showing against a field that punished mistakes quickly.

Udder Chaos 2026 also marked a new chapter for a tournament Madison launched in 2018 as Udder Chaos: Madison Invitational Roller Derby Tournament. Madison Roller Derby says it first laced up for the public in late 2004 and skated its first full season in 2005, and it remains a founding member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, the sport’s international governing body with more than 400 member leagues on six continents.
