Roller Derby Quizzes & Trivia

This is the Minor Threat Junior Roller Derby Level 3 Quiz based on JRDA and WFTDA rules.

2. You disagree with a major penalty called against you. Do you:

Explanation

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.

Submit
3. How many minutes in the penalty box during one game will cause you to be expelled from the game? (fouling out)?

Explanation

If a player accumulates seven minutes in the penalty box during one game, they will be expelled from the game. This means that they will be removed from the game and not allowed to continue playing.

Submit
4. When can you take a time out?

Explanation

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.

Submit
5. 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?

Explanation

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.

Submit
6. Is a jammer who starts a jam in the penalty box eligible for Lead Jammer when her penalty is over?

Explanation

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.

Submit
7. Pivots must be touching the pivot line when the jam starts.

Explanation

The statement is stating that pivots must be touching the pivot line when the jam starts. However, this is not true. In roller derby, the pivots are not required to be touching the pivot line when the jam starts. They have the freedom to be positioned anywhere on the track as long as they are behind the jammer line. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
8. You're in the jammers way, and don't move, when the referees are calling no pack. What happens?

Explanation

If you don't move when the referees are calling no pack and you're in the jammer's way, you will receive a minor penalty for out of play blocking. This means that you are impeding the jammer's progress and not following the rules of the game.

Submit
9. Your jammer is in the box and has served 30 seconds when the opposing jammer is callled out. The opposing jammer sits down when your jammer has served 43 seconds. What happens?

Explanation

After serving for 30 seconds, the opposing jammer is called out. This means that the opposing jammer will have to sit out for the same amount of time that your jammer has already served, which is 30 seconds. Therefore, your jammer returns to play immediately, and the opposing jammer serves 43 seconds.

Submit
10. An opposing player wheel-checks you and you go down hard. To even things up, you trip that player intentionally on the next lap, and the referee calls you on it. What happens?

Explanation

The key word is "intentionally" - if you try to hurt someone else, you will be expelled.

Submit
11. Your knee pad comes loose mid-jam. You fix it, and re-enter the pack in front of one other player. What happens?

Explanation

If your knee pad comes loose mid-jam and you fix it before re-entering the pack in front of one other player, you would receive a minor penalty for illegal procedure. This is because fixing your equipment during gameplay is considered a violation of the rules, as it disrupts the flow of the game and gives you an unfair advantage.

Submit
12. Thejammer is passing the star to the Pivot when - whoops - it hits the floor. Who can pick it up, and under what circumstances?

Explanation

The jammer who dropped the star or the pivot who was accepting it can retrieve it, but they must not skate backwards or cut the track while doing so.

Submit
13. An ooppsing blocker pushes you out of bounds, then falls to her knees. Where is the best place to re-enter the pack?

Explanation

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.

Submit
14. You're lead jammer, and 2 opposing blockers are in the box. You pass (lap) the opposing jammer at the back of the pack and call off the jam before you pass any blockers. How many points do you get for that lap?

Explanation

When you pass the opposing jammer at the back of the pack and call off the jam before passing any blockers, you are awarded one point for that lap. This is because you have successfully lapped the opposing jammer, which earns you a point. Since there are no opposing blockers ahead of you, you do not earn any additional points for passing them. Therefore, the correct answer is one.

Submit
15. The jammer starts on the pivot whistle, stops, and gets back behind the jam line before the jammer whistle is blown. What happens?

Explanation

Since the jammer was in proper starting position when the jam whistle blows, there is no penalty.

Submit
16. You're late getting onto the track as a blocker, and you're behind the jammer line when the first whistle blows. What should you do?

Explanation

If you are late getting onto the track as a blocker and you are behind the jammer line when the first whistle blows, you should continue playing. However, you will receive a minor penalty for being out of position. This means that you will need to serve some time in the penalty box before returning to the game.

Submit
17. The penalty timer mistakenly tells you your time is up and to go back on the track, but you know your time is not up yet. What do you do?

Explanation

In this situation, the penalty timer mistakenly tells you that your time is up, but you know that your time is not actually up yet. Since you are aware that the timer is incorrect, you can ignore the penalty and continue playing without any consequences. Therefore, there is no penalty for you and you can go to the box for your remaining time.

Submit
18. When can you legally block? (Check all that apply)

Explanation

You can legally block when skating counterclockwise in the normal direction, whether facing forward or backward. Additionally, you can block when in the pack or when out of the pack by less than 20 feet.

Submit
19. BONUS QUESTIONYellow and Black jammers complete initial passes and Black becomes lead jammer.  Black jammer is sent to the box for elbows and Black B1 is in the box for 4 minors.  10 seconds after the Black Jammer sits down, Yellow jammer passes Black B2 legally on her scoring pass.  Another 10 seconds later, the Yellow jammer back blocks Black B3 and puts her hands on her hips before B3 falls to the track. An outside Pack Ref calls off the jam with Black B4 25 feet ahead of the pack.

Explanation

The Yellow Jammer receives 3 points because she passed Black B2 legally on her scoring pass. She also receives two majors because she back blocked Black B3 and put her hands on her hips before B3 fell to the track. As a result, she sits for 80 seconds because of the two majors she received.

Submit
20. The captain: (Check all that apply)

Explanation

The captain is someone who wears a "C" on the arm and/or uniform, indicating their leadership role. They have the authority to request an official review, which can be used to challenge a referee's decision. Additionally, the captain is responsible for serving the penalty for any skater who is ejected from the game.

Submit
21. You're lead jammer, and 2 opposing blockers are in the box. You pass (lap) the opposing jammer at the back of the pack, pass one opposing blocker, and call off the jam. How many points do you get for that lap?

Explanation

In roller derby, the lead jammer is awarded one point for each opposing blocker that they pass legally. In this scenario, the lead jammer passed one opposing blocker legally, and since there were two opposing blockers in the penalty box, they are also considered passed. Therefore, the lead jammer would receive four points for that lap.

Submit
22. What happens when you have been to the box for 7 minutes in a single game? [Check all that appy]

Explanation

When you have been to the box for 7 minutes in a single game, it means that you have fouled out. As a result, you must leave the track area immediately. In addition, the captain serves your penalty minute on your behalf.
