Question:
What is the penalty for standing in the wrong place on the track when a jam starts?

Answer:
Jammers will receive a minor penalty for lining up on the track between the Jammer and Pivot lines. Blockers will receive a minor penalty for lining up anywhere on the track not between the Jammer and Pivot lines.

Question:
How is the 30 second lineup clock between jams treated in the event of a timeout?

Answer:
Teams may call timeouts at anytime between jams. Between jams, a team can wait until the 29.99 second mark to call a time out. At the conclusion of the timeout, the Referees will direct the players to return to the track and start the next jam as soon as possible. The next jam can start as soon as players are lined up, but no more than 30 seconds should transpire after a timeout. The period clock restarts when the next jam starts.

Question:
When are we able to remove a girl from our roster due to injury, etc., and replace her with one of our alternates during gameplay? Are we able to do it immediately or must we wait until between periods? Are we allowed to use an alternate if a player has been ejected or do we suffer the consequences of her actions and skate short?

Answer:
Alternates cannot join a game that is in progress. If a player is injured or expelled that team must play the remainder of the bout minus one from their Game Roster. Teams cannot rotate a player from their Team Roster to their Game Roster during a bout.

Question:

What happens if a team requests an Official Review but is out of timeouts?

Answer:

This is entirely up to the discretion of the Head Referee. The Head Ref may grant the Official Review or deny the Official Review. The Head Referee should use the 30 seconds between jams to determine if the request has merit, but is not obligated to grant the review.

Question:

What happens if a team requests an Official Review but has already used one review in that period?

Answer:

The request should be denied. A team is only allowed one review per period. See 9.2.12.

Question:

Does the accumulation of four minor penalties equal a major penalty?

Answer:

No, however both result in one minute in the penalty box. Minor penalties and major penalties are separately inventoried. Minor Penalties do not count towards the major penalty cap, and major penalties do not count towards the minor penalty cap. Minor and major Penalties should only be inventoried jointly when determining a player’s combined trips to the penalty box . See Section 7.5 for details.
