Yes, I believe they sell beer. They're a really good team ranked very high nationally. You're in for a good time. |

"Roller Derby" sounds like something that could be an odd sex act nickname. like Dirty Sanchez etc. I'm just not creative enough to come up with anything right now.
Luv are most of your games (?) down there in Springfield? Or do you guys travel up north at all?

People have never heard of roller derby? In the 70's it got to where it was more or less the WWF on wheels - all show. It's actually a sport that both men and women do, although it's much more popular with the ladies.
The basics: There is a Jammer. This is the person who scores points by lapping and passing opposing Blockers. The Jammer is easily recognized due to wearing a helmet cover that has a big star on each side. There are four Blockers who prevent the opposing Jammer from passing them, but who are also trying to help their Jammer get through the pack (group of Blockers from both teams). One of the Blockers will be wearing a helmet cover that has a big stripe running down the center. The Blocker is called the Pivot. If the Jammer is tired or having difficulty getting through the pack, she can take her helmet cover off and hand it to the Pivot. The Pivot becomes the new Jammer ones she puts the Helmet cover on over Pivot helmet cover. A bout (or game) consists of two thirty-minute periods with a halftime between. Each period consists of a number of Jams. A Jam ends either when two minutes have gone by or when the Lead Jammer calls off the Jam. The Lead Jammer is the first Jammer that makes the initial pass through the pack without committing a penalty. If the Jammer who passes her helmet cover to her Pivot happens to be the Lead Jammer, then she loses that status, and the Jam will go the entire two minutes. No points are scored until after a Jammer makes their initial pass through the pack and laps them. There are penalties such as elbowing someone, hitting someone above the shoulders, tripping someone, pushing an opposing player from behind, or cutting in front of players when you come back in from getting hit out of bounds. If the Jammer who gets sent to the penalty box is the Lead Jammer, she loses that status and the Jam lasts the entire two minutes. Anyone committing a penalty has to spend time in the penalty box. Anyone who gets sent to the penalty box seven times over the course of the bout gets ejected from the game. |
