Intro to Skate for Officials and NSOs

For officials and NSOs who need clear event and roster visibility.

Davoda Skate

You do not need another vague sign-up process.

You need to know what event you signed up for, what role you are likely to work, and whether the roster is actually set.

You want clarity, not another place to check

When you are officiating or NSOing, the basics matter:

  • What event you signed up for
  • Which department you picked
  • Whether you are rostered yet
  • Whether the event changed or got cancelled
  • What role you are expected to cover when you arrive

Skate is designed so that information is tied to the event, not lost in a spreadsheet tab or buried in a message thread.

It keeps your role and your event in one place

With Skate, you can:

  • Sign up for specific events instead of hoping someone notices your name in a sheet
  • See rostered roles once assignments are published
  • Review event details in derby language, not generic shift language
  • Request changes without having to rebuild the whole communication chain

The usual alternatives leave too much uncertainty

If you have used other systems, this will sound familiar:

  • A shared Google Sheet where you add your preferred roles, but you cannot tell if someone else changed your entry or if the event is still happening
  • A Google Form that asks whether you are willing to help, but does not really tell you what you will do or whether you got the assignment
  • A second or third form later, because one form was enough to collect interest but not enough to turn that interest into a roster

Skate narrows the gap between “I signed up” and “I know I am covered.”

Less guessing, more readiness

That means you can show up with a clearer answer to the questions officials actually care about:

  • Am I on this event?
  • What department or role am I working?
  • What changed since I last checked?
  • Who do I talk to if I need to switch?

If you also use scheduling outside derby

If Skate feels like the right way to keep derby events organized, Slate uses the same scheduling philosophy for broader business staffing.

Skate is for your bouts, officials, and rostered events. Slate is for the everyday staffing work that lives outside derby.



Davoda Skate helps build great roller derby officiating crews, from event signup through on-the-day coverage and beyond.
