- 1.
You disagree with a major penalty called against you. Do you:
- A.
Skate into the infield and ask the head ref about it between jams
- B.
Observe the hand signal used by the ref and tell your captain about it
- C.
Skate over to the penalty tracker and ask them on the way to the box
- D.
Wait until the afterparty or the next practice and ask the ref that called you out
Correct Answer
B. Observe the hand signal used by the ref and tell your captain about itExplanation
If you disagree with a major penalty called against you, the best course of action is to observe the hand signal used by the ref and inform your captain about it. This allows your captain to address the issue with the officials and potentially challenge the call if necessary. Skating into the infield to speak with the head ref between jams or asking the penalty tracker on the way to the penalty box may not be effective in resolving the issue immediately. Waiting until the afterparty or the next practice to ask the ref that called you out is not a productive or appropriate approach.Rate this question:

Is a jammer who starts a jam in the penalty box eligible for Lead Jammer when her penalty is over?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
When a jammer starts a jam in the penalty box, they are still eligible for Lead Jammer status once their penalty is over. This means that if they are able to pass all opposing blockers legally and become the first jammer to do so, they will earn the Lead Jammer status. This allows them to call off the jam at any time by placing their hands on their hips, giving their team an advantage in scoring points and controlling the game.Rate this question:

When can you take a time out?
- A.
At any time during the game
- B.
Between jams
- C.
Whenever the head ref is watching
- D.
Between periods
Correct Answer
B. Between jamsExplanation
During a roller derby game, a time out can be taken between jams. A jam is a period of gameplay that starts when the whistle is blown and ends when it is blown again. This break between jams allows teams to strategize, make substitutions, or address any issues that may have arisen during the previous jam. Taking a time out between jams helps maintain the flow of the game and ensures that teams have an opportunity to regroup and make necessary adjustments.Rate this question:

In roller derby, the lead jammer is awarded one point for each opposing blocker that they pass legally.

Therefore, the lead jammer would receive four points for that lap.Rate this question:

An opposing blocker pushes you out of bounds, remaining upright and in bounds throughout the block. Where is the best place to re-enter the pack?
- A.
In front of the skater that blocked you out
- B.
At the back of the pack
- C.
Behind the skater who blocked you out
- D.
Anywhere
Correct Answer
C. Behind the skater who blocked you outExplanation
When an opposing blocker pushes a skater out of bounds and remains upright and in bounds throughout the block, the best place for the skater to re-enter the pack is behind the blocker who pushed them out. This is because the skater needs to re-enter the pack behind any opposing skaters who were involved in the block. Re-entering in front of the blocker would be considered cutting the track, which is a penalty in roller derby. Therefore, the skater should wait until they are behind the blocker and then re-enter the pack.Rate this question:

- C.
Behind the skater who blocked you out
- D.
Anywhere
Correct Answer
A. In front of the skater that blocked you outExplanation
When re-entering the pack after being pushed out of bounds by an opposing blocker, the best place to re-enter is in front of the skater that blocked you out. This allows you to regain your position and potentially gain an advantage by being ahead of the opposing blocker. Re-entering behind the skater who blocked you out would put you at a disadvantage as you would have to work harder to catch up to the pack.Rate this question:
