Which part of the body is considered an illegal blocking zone?
- A.
Chest
- B.
Upper arm
- C.

Above the shoulder is considered an illegal blocking zone because in many sports, such as football or volleyball, it is against the rules to make contact with an opponent above the shoulder. This is to protect the head and neck from potential injuries. Blocking above the shoulder can lead to dangerous collisions and increase the risk of concussions or other serious injuries. Therefore, it is important for players to be aware of this rule and avoid blocking above the shoulder to ensure the safety of all players involved.Rate this question:

True or False:A Jammer must legally pass an on-the-track opponent to score points on players not on the track (NOTT).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A jammer must legally pass an on-the-track opponent to score points on players not on the track (NOTT). This means that in order for a jammer to earn points for their team, they must successfully pass an opposing player who is on the track. If they pass a player who is not on the track, they will not receive any points. This rule ensures fair gameplay and encourages jammers to compete against opponents who are actively participating in the game.Rate this question:

True or False:A Jammer must stay in-bounds to remain Lead Jammer.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A Jammer does not need to stay in-bounds to remain Lead Jammer. In Roller Derby, the Lead Jammer is the first Jammer to pass all the opposing Blockers legally and in-bounds. Once a Jammer becomes Lead Jammer, they will retain that status for the remainder of the jam, even if they skate out of bounds. However, if the Lead Jammer commits a penalty, they will lose their Lead Jammer status.Rate this question:

Minor
- C.
Major
Correct Answer

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
If a skater is illegally blocked outside of the engagement zone, she may legally counter-block.

- A.
Failure to reform the pack
- B.
Multi-Player Blocks
- C.
Use of Hands
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. None of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "None of the above" because referees are not required to give a warning before issuing any specific type of penalty. The decision to issue a penalty is based on the referee's judgment of the situation and the rules of the game. While warnings may be given in certain cases, there is no specific requirement for warnings before issuing penalties for failure to reform the pack, multi-player blocks, or use of hands.Rate this question:

What kind of penalty would be issued in the following scenario:An in-bounds, upright, and skating skater re-enters the track from out-of-bounds in front of multiple in-bounds skaters during a no pack scenario, resulting in her having bettered her position.
- A.
Minor Cutting the Track
- B.
Major Cutting the Track
- C.
No Impact/No Penalty
- D.
Thumbs Up
Correct Answer
B. Major Cutting the TrackExplanation
In this scenario, the skater re-enters the track from out-of-bounds in front of multiple in-bounds skaters during a no pack scenario, and as a result, she has gained an advantage by bettering her position. Cutting the Track refers to a skater gaining an advantage by re-entering the track ahead of other skaters. Since the skater in this scenario has not only cut the track but also improved her position, it would be considered a Major Cutting the Track penalty.Rate this question:

True or False:Blockers that advance or chase the Jammer out of the Engagement Zone are considered part of and belonging to point totals of the previous (just completed) scoring pass.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Blockers that advance or chase the Jammer out of the Engagement Zone are considered part of and belonging to point totals of the previous scoring pass. This means that if blockers successfully prevent the Jammer from scoring any additional points by pushing them out of bounds or forcing them to recycle, the Jammer will not earn any points for that pass. Instead, the points earned by the Jammer will be based on their position and the blockers they passed before being forced out of bounds. Therefore, the statement "Blockers that advance or chase the Jammer out of the Engagement Zone are considered part of and belonging to point totals of the previous scoring pass" is true.Rate this question:

- B.
Only the Jammer Referees
- C.
Only the Head Referee
- D.

C. Only the Head RefereeExplanation
Only the Head Referee is allowed to expel a skater.

Who gets the penalty when a jam is called off for too many skaters on the track and the offending team did not field a Pivot, and the referees are not sure who the last Blocker on the track was.
- A.
Captain
- B.
Pivot
- C.
Closest Blocker to referee who made the call
Correct Answer
C. Closest Blocker to referee who made the callExplanation
When a jam is called off for too many skaters on the track and the offending team did not field a Pivot, the penalty is given to the closest Blocker to the referee who made the call. This is because the Pivot is usually responsible for communicating with the referees and ensuring that the team has the correct number of skaters on the track. However, in this scenario, since there is no Pivot, the penalty is given to the Blocker who is closest to the referee, as they are the most likely to have been involved in the situation.Rate this question:

- A.
No impact/No Penalty
- B.
Minor
- C.
Major
- D.
No call, Legal scenario
Correct Answer
B. MinorExplanation
In this scenario, a minor penalty would be issued. The skater has initiated contact or engaged an opponent before the first whistle, causing the receiving opposing skater to be off balance. However, since the skater did not cause the opponent to lose her established starting position, it is considered a minor penalty rather than a major penalty.Rate this question:

- B.
10 feet behind the rearmost pack skater and 10 feet in front of the foremost pack skater.
- C.
20 feet in front of the foremost pack skater and 10 feet behind the rearmost pack skater.
Correct Answer
A. 20 feet behind the rearmost pack skater and 20 feet in front of the foremost pack skater.Explanation
The engagement zone includes 20 feet behind the rearmost pack skater and 20 feet in front of the foremost pack skater. This means that any opponent skater within this range is considered to be within the engagement zone and can be engaged or blocked. This rule helps to ensure fair and safe gameplay by defining the boundaries within which skaters can interact with each other.Rate this question:

- C.
3 green Blockers and 1 red blocker are more than 10 feet from 3 red Blockers and 1 green Blocker.
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
In all of the given situations, there is no "pack" formed. A "pack" refers to a group of skaters from both teams who are within 10 feet of each other. In the first situation, 4 green Blockers are more than 10 feet away from 4 red Blockers, so there is no pack. In the second situation, 4 green Blockers are more than 10 feet away from 3 red Blockers, and 1 red Blocker has been knocked out-of-bounds, so again there is no pack. In the third situation, 3 green Blockers and 1 red Blocker are more than 10 feet away from 3 red Blockers and 1 green Blocker, so once again there is no pack. Therefore, all of the above situations qualify as "no pack" situations.Rate this question:

To legally regain position in the pack after having fallen behind or recovering from a fall, a skater must:
- A.
Catch up to the back of the pack by skating within the track boundaries to be considered back in play.
- B.
Skate outside track boundaries to stay out of the way until she can easily get to the back of the pack.
- C.
Wait for the pack to come back around to enter from behind.
Correct Answer
A. Catch up to the back of the pack by skating within the track boundaries to be considered back in play.Explanation
To legally regain position in the pack after falling behind or recovering from a fall, a skater must catch up to the back of the pack by skating within the track boundaries. This means that the skater needs to skate within the designated area of the track and reach the back of the pack in order to be considered back in play. Skating outside the track boundaries or waiting for the pack to come back around to enter from behind are not the correct methods for regaining position.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Impeding an opponent by holding onto the shirt of a teammate.Explanation
The correct answer is "Impeding an opponent by holding onto the shirt of a teammate."

- A.
Accruing more than 5 trips the penalty box in either period, or more than 10 trips in a game
- B.

Correct Answer
B. Accruing 7 trips to the penalty box in a gameExplanation
Accruing 7 trips to the penalty box in a game will result in a player fouling out of the game.

- C.
Major penalty given to the captain
- D.
Major penalty given to the pivot
Correct Answer
A. Minor penalty given to the captainExplanation
During a time out, the coach entering the penalty box to talk to a penalized skater would result in a minor penalty given to the captain.

Major blocking to the back
Correct Answer
B. Minor blocking to the backExplanation
