History

By May 2012, the league had twenty-five skaters.[1] In January 2013, it grew further, after the Brown County Debu'Taunts merged with Cowboy Capital.[2]

Cowboy Capital was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in January 2013,[3] and it became a full WFTDA member in September 2013.[4] This was described by league president Ashley Gill as "such a huge milestone not just for us but for our community".[5]

The league was entirely volunteer-run, and has raised large amounts for charity: around $10,000 in 2013.[6]

The last game skated by the A team Pistol Annies was a 280-113 loss to Assassination City Roller Derby in March 2015,[7] and Cowboy Capital was last listed as a ranked WFTDA member with the March 31, 2015 release, in which they were ranked at #230 out of then 238 ranked leagues.[8]
