Each team has 15 skaters, five of which may be on the track at any one time. One player is designated as the jammer. The jammer will have a star on their helmet, and they are the only player that can score points for their team. Play begins when an official whistles once to begin the jam. Once the whistle has blown, the Jammers must fight their way through the Pack and exit it completely to qualify to score.
The Blockers from the opposing team will try to prevent them from doing so. Once out of the Pack, the Jammers then race to lap the Pack. Each time a Jammer laps a member of the opposing team and passes her in-bounds, the team receives one point. A Jam is over when one of the following occurs:.
Skaters must wear quad-style roller skates and protective gear during play. Inline skates are not permitted. Protective gear may not be removed during play. Protective gear may not impair or interfere with the safety or play of other Skaters, support staff, or Officials. Skaters who are injured during play may return to play as long as they are no longer apparently injured or bleeding.
A Skater whose injury alters the flow of the game examples include a Jam being called off, a period clock stoppage, or a substitute being seated in the Penalty Box may not participate during the following three Jams extending into the following period if necessary. A Skater whose injury alters the flow of the game more than once in a period may not participate as a Skater for the rest of that period.
The Head Referee may also declare that a team has forfeited the game if that team has five or fewer Skaters eligible to participate, or refuses to field Skaters on the track to continue play. Teams and Officials may stop the period clock by calling a timeout. Timeouts may only be called between Jams, though Officials may end a Jam in order to call an Official Timeout. The beginning of a timeout is marked by four short whistle blasts, and the end of a timeout is marked by a long rolling whistle, after which the next Jam begins as soon as possible if there is time remaining on the period clock.
At most, 30 seconds may pass before the next Jam begins. The period clock starts again at the Jam-Starting Whistle. Each team has three timeouts that they can take during the game. Only the Jammers score points. A: Yes! This is a sport where you have to be fast as well as strategic. We take this sport seriously and want to be recognized for our true athleticism.
Q: What is Booty Blocking? This usually involves putting your booty right on the skater behind you.
