Not only does he officiate games for Big Easy Roller Derby, he also travels and lends his officiating knowledge to Red Stick Roller Derby, Northshore Roller Derby and a host of other leagues in the south in a variety of ways, including working with their newer officials who are learning to become their respective leagues crew heads.

Bondage has previously officiated in several tournaments, including Sweatfest, the Mythical Invitational and last year's inaugural Y'allstars Tournament. As a WFTDA Certified Official, James Bondage is looking forward to serving, for the first time, as Co-THR for the 2024 Y'Allstars tournament and is excited to work with everyone who will be participating.

Ice believes in fostering fair play, providing resources to other officials/athletes, sportsmanship, and the spirit of competition that makes roller derby. She's looking forward to continuing this thrilling journey, meeting fellow skaters, officials, and fans along the way. Let's roll together and make every game an unforgettable experience!

Carmina Piranha  (she/her)

Mina began her derby journey in 2013 with Burning River Roller Derby and currently skates with Team Louisiana and Red Stick Roller Derby. She is also an alum of Team Ohio and Big Easy Roller Derby. Mina has served on volunteer staff for the 2015 WFTDA D2 Playoffs (Cleveland) and 2018 WFTDA Champs. She was the recipient of the Kitty Klime award at BOTAS in 2019.

She hopes everyone has the best time ever.

Graham Reaper  (she/her)

Tournament Organizing Co-Chair

Reaper was born and raised in Jackson, MS, loves Diet Coke, and in her day job works as the Operations Manager for the Mississippi Children's Museum. She's been in the hospitality and events industry for almost 20 years, and absolutely LOVES what she does.

In 2012, Reaper joined a little drunken adult kickball league, and the captain of the team was also the president of the local roller derby league, Capital City Roller Girls, now known as JXN Roller Derby. Typical story, girl meets derby; girl is hooked. Reaper skated for about 8 years; her skating career included dual rostering with Mississippi Brawlstars & Northshore Roller Derby, a brief stint with Denver Roller Derby's home team, the Green Barrettes, and captaining Team Mississippi for a trip to State Wars in Daytona Beach. After a car wreck, Reaper gave up playing, but took to bench coaching and derby event organizing to stay active in the sport she loves so much.

Reaper is excited for Y'Allstars to bring the derby community some great derby match-ups, a space for so many different skaters to participate, and a little something different and new when it comes to roller derby tournaments.
