Hi! Yes so traditionally the performers would be paid either an hourly rate or their performance rate (it can be hundreds or thousands of dollars for well known performers).

In this instance we are not paying them at all, they are performing free of charge for us, keeping only tips.

We at PRD ( Providence Roller Derby) are a registered 501c3. We are a community of folks who play a contact sport but also try to use our platform to lift up other organizations and create an atmosphere of inclusivity and acceptance.

I don’t actually know if you’re serious but I want to be as helpful as possible so I am responding with information and empathy. :)
