The rivalry between Ava Zinn and Tracia Ward is a moderator derby between inter-team rivalry serving as moderators on the UK version of Vote for the Girls and is spawned on the rivalry of the same name in the United States.

Since the second series of Vote for the Girls, it is an inter-league woman vs. transwoman matchup between the two moderators. Thus, a Zinn-Ward moderator match-up can be referred to as "Fort Wayne and Indy vs. Michiana in the UK" or The All-Indiana Super Bowl in the UK (referencing the Super Bowl XLI matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears due to both Zinn and Ward supporting both NFL teams).
