Yes indeedy, players may only wear quad skates. Preferably ones designed for Roller Derby. I'm not sure 100% if that last statement is a rule, though, but I have never seen a Derby Girl skating on the full-ankle or hard-shell boots.
Refs, however, may wear any kind of roller boot, even blades. I am training to ref at the moment and I used to skate on blades, but bought a pair of Riedell R3's which I much prefer over any other kind of skate. They're light and fast as hell!
Hey Nadz. Are the traditional type of skate mandatory? I'm only seeing a referee with in-lines, but maybe I'm not lookin hard enough, lol.
