hoW do You WIn the Game?the team with the most points after two 30-minute periods wins thegame. each period is made up of individual “jams” lasting no longerthan two minutes.

hoW do You Score PoIntS?the skater with a star on her helmet is the jammer. each team hasone jammer on the track at a time. the jammer is the only skater whocan score points by passing blockers on the opposing team. ifjammers are not in bounds, or if they make illegal contact withopposing skaters while passing, they do not score points.

Who are the bLockerS?there are up to four blockers from each team on the track at one time.together, the eight blockers make a pack. blockers play offense byassisting their jammer while at the same time playing defense andblocking the opposing jammer.

What’S the Lead Jammer thInG the announcer IS taLkInG about?the lead jammer is the first jammer to pass through the pack legally.the lead jammer is the only person who can call off a jam prior to thefull two minutes. she calls off the jam by repeatedly placing her handson her hips. the lead jammer is identified by a jammer ref by pointingto her with “l” shaped arms while following beside her inside thetrack until her first scoring pass. sometimes, there will be no leadjammer and the jam will last the full two minutes.

WhY doeS one GIrL have a StrIPe on her heLmet?the girl with the stripe is called the pivot. each team has one pivot onthe track at a time and if a jammer passes her helmet cover with thestar to the pivot, the pivot can become the jammer by putting the starcover on her helmet. she does not retain lead jammer status, but sheis able to score points where her jammer left off for the remainder ofthe jam.

WhY are SkaterS Sent to the PenaLtY boX?skaters are sent to the penalty box when they have committed apenalty. the penalty time starts once the skater sits in the seat, so itis essential that she get to the penalty box quickly once she is sent.the standard time in the box is 30 seconds, but skaters can serveadditional time for accruing additional penalties.

What are the no-no’S In bLockInG?• no back blocking• no forearms, clothes-lining or elbows• no grabbing, holding, pulling or tripping• no intentional falling in front of an

opposing skater• no fighting
