You are the Jammer Referee that has been assigned to the Red Team. Red Jammer #241 has lined up at the Jammer line and the Penalty Tracker has informed you that she currently has 3 minors. As Red Jammer #241 is making her way through the pack on her initial pass, Red Jammer slams into the back of Red Blocker #45 knocking her down to the floor. Now there is just Blue Blocker #390 at the front of the pack that Red Jammer #241 needs to pass to become Lead Jammer. Red Jammer #241 uses her bent elbow to hook into the ribs of Blue Blocker #390 and then pulls herself forward with her elbow.
