The WFTDA's East Region was formed in 2006.
In 2009, teams from the western part of the region were moved into the North Central and South Central Regions.[1] In 2008, WFTDA changed from having just two regional tournaments (East and West), to five, made up of teams from four regions: East, North Central, South Central and West.[2]
Members of the WFTDA's Europe Region competed in the East Region, as did members in the eastern part of the Canada Region.[3] WFTDA has now moved away from the Big 5 WFTDA Championships qualification tournament structure, last competed in 2012.
Starting with the 2013 WFTDA season, the regions were discontinued in favour of an overall-rankings based system, and a new playoff format was created.
