Big Mouth Mickies... Roller Derby gone Irish's Interests
General
tattoos, lipstick and bruises. Roller derby reigns supreme!!
Here's how this game works.....
Team: Five of more Derby girls, with a maximum of five on the track at a time: a Pivot, a Jammer and three blockers
Period: A set of jams played in a 20-minute duration
Jam: A two-minute scoring session
Pack: Two teams of three Blockers and a Pivot, for a total of eight, skating in formation
Formation: Pivots in the front, Blockers in the middle, Jammers in the back
Jammer: Scoring skater, wearing a star helmet, who breaks away from the Pack and scores points by lapping opposing team members on the track
Lead Jammer: The first Jammer to break through the pack earns the strategic advantage of calling off (ending) the jam; she signals the refs by putting her hands on her hips
Blockers: Each team gets up to three Blockers on the track. They make holes in the pack for their jammer to get through, and block the opposing Jammer. They also knock down members of the opposing team
Pivot: each team gets one Pivot, wearing a striped helmet, on the track. She sets the pace of the pack skating in front, in addition to playing both offense and defense with the Jammers. Under special circumstances, the Pivot can also jam if her Jammer hands off her star helmet cover
Offensive play: Helping score points, including whips and pushes and knocking down Blockers
Defensive play: Inhibiting opponent from scoring points, including booty blocking and takeouts
Lapping: After the Jammer’s initial pass through the pack, she skates her ass off to catch up to the pack again and attempts to break through again. For each Blocker and Pivot on the opposing team, she passes; she earns a point for her team, for a maximum of four per lap.
