Until the Jammer calls it off
Correct Answer
A. 2 minutesExplanation
The maximum length of a jam is 2 minutes. This means that a jam cannot exceed this time limit. It is important for jams, especially in sports like roller derby or basketball, to have a time limit in order to maintain fairness and keep the game moving. If a jam were to go on indefinitely, it could lead to fatigue or other complications for the players. Therefore, setting a maximum time limit ensures that the game remains controlled and within a reasonable duration.Rate this question:
