- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In roller derby, a Jammer is the player who scores points for their team. According to the given statement, a Jammer must legally pass an on-the-track opponent to score points on a player who is not on the track.

A skater who is Lead Jammer cannot call off the jam as she is being removed from play due to a penalty.

Three
- B.
Four
- C.

- D.
Two
Correct Answer
A. ThreeExplanation
The maximum number of skaters from one team that can be seated in the penalty box at one time is three. This is because the penalty box is designed to accommodate a limited number of players from each team who have been penalized. If more than three players from one team were to be seated in the penalty box at the same time, it would exceed the capacity and create an unfair advantage for the opposing team.Rate this question:

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. The Lead Jammer status is awarded to the first Jammer who legally passes all blockers from both teams. Once a Jammer has been awarded Lead Jammer, they retain this status until they call off the jam or are sent to the penalty box. Being out-of-bounds does not affect their Lead Jammer status. Therefore, the given answer is false.Rate this question:

- A.
Clockwise
- B.

- C.

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

If a skater is illegally blocked outside of the engagement zone, it means that the opposing skater has impeded their movement in a way that is against the rules. In this situation, the skater who was illegally blocked is allowed to legally counter-block, which means they can use their body to push or block the opposing skater in response. This is considered legal because it is a self-defense mechanism and allows the skater to regain their position or protect themselves from further illegal blocks.

- 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.

- A.

- 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, resulting in her having bettered her position. This action violates the rules of roller derby, specifically the rule against cutting the track. Cutting the track refers to a skater re-entering the track in a way that improves their position or gives them an unfair advantage. Since the skater in this scenario has bettered her position by re-entering the track in front of other skaters, the appropriate penalty would be a Major Cutting the Track.Rate this question:

Blockers that advance of 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 to chase the Jammer out of the Engagement Zone are considered part of and belonging to the point totals of the previous scoring pass. This means that if blockers successfully force the Jammer out of bounds or force them to recycle, any points earned by the Jammer on that particular scoring pass will not count. Instead, these points will be attributed to the previous scoring pass. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

- C.
