-Play is broken up into two 30
minute periods, within those
periods are units of play called
Jams, which last up to two
minutes.
-During a Jam, each team fields up
to five Skaters. Four of these Skaters
are called Blockers. together, the Blockers
are called the Pack. one player is called
a Jammer. The Jammer wears a helmet
cover with a star on it.
-The two Jammers start each Jam
behind the Pack, and score a
point for every opponent
they lap, each lap. Because
they start behind the Pack,
they must get through the
Pack, then all the way
around the track to be
ready to score points on
opposing Blockers.
