It’s that time again! The NCJ has two pairs of tickets for the upcoming Humboldt Roller Derby bout on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. Your local derby stars, The Redwood Rollers, will be competing against the Oakland Outlaws. You might even call it a “battle of the bays.” Maybe. We’ll see if it catches on.

These tickets are pretty coveted, so we can’t just give them out to anybody. You gotta earn these tickets. We wanna make this fun, though, because fun is the true spirit of Humboldt Roller Derby. So, here’s the deal: Everyone has until midnight, Friday Feb. 14 to come up with the best caption for this photo:

On Saturday morning, bright and early, the NCJ will pick the best/funniest/wittiest/craftiest captions from the bunch. We won’t just pick all willy-nilly; a huge part of our decision will come from the number of “likes” each caption gets,

There is one caveat, though: we’re not looking for the most offensive caption. No matter how many likes the offensive captions get, we won’t consider them contenders. In fact, offensive captions will be deleted. The authors of the two best captions win the tickets (one pair for each winner). Easypeasy. 

So, what are you waiting for?! Bring on the wit and get captioning already. Geez.
