Lined up in the Jammer Starting Position. The Skater who visibly controls the Star who has The Jammer from the previous Jam who is in the Keep in Mind: Assume the following Jammer hierarchy: In this case, both the Jammer (Red 27) and the Blocker (Red 34) have started the Jam in illegal starting positions. Since the rules do not accommodate for Jammers who forget their helmet covers, starting position should not take precedence over wearing the Star. Keep in Mind: Once the Jam starts, the Jammer Referee should communicate to Red 27 that they are the Jammer for this Jam.
Rationale: Red 27 is the Skater in possession of the Star.īoth Skaters should receive a penalty for beginning the Jam fully out of position.
Red and White Skaters repeatedly shift positions between Jams, attempting to gain position on one another.Īs the Jam starts, Red 34 is lined up fully behind the Jammer Line but is not wearing the Star, while Red 27 is lined up fully in front of the Jammer Line and is wearing the Star. Keep in Mind: If the Red Blockers moved towards the Jammer Line so that the White Blocker’s immediate advantage is removed, then a False Start Warning should be given. Keep in Mind: If White Blocker had been touching or had part of their skate ahead of the Pivot Line, but are otherwise not ahead of it, a False Start warning should be issued, and they should be given an opportunity to yield their position. Because of this advantage and the intentional nature of the illegal position, an immediate penalty is warranted. Even if a False Start warning was issued, the White Blocker has already gained a strategic advantage by being positioned ahead of the Red Wall and impeding the Red Blockers’ ability to immediately move forward. Rationale: Even though the White Blocker is partially legally positioned, they have intentionally adopted an illegal starting position to gain an advantage. Outcome: White Blocker is penalized immediately upon the jam starting whistle.
White Blocker positions themself in front of the Red Blockers by straddling the Pivot Line. All four Red Blockers line up directly behind the Pivot Line, leaving no room for another Skater to be legally positioned in front of them.
