Question:

What happens if two players from the same team line up on the track where both are wearing a Pivot helmet cover? What if one is in the penalty box and the other is on the track? Are any penalties given?

Answer:

Section 3 states a team may only have 1 Pivot on the track. The second Pivot onto the track should be sent to her bench because she is an extra skater, she is not permitted to rejoin the jam in progress. If the referees do not know which Pivot was second on the track the referees should send the Pivot closest to them back to her bench.

Should a skater wearing the Pivot cover begin a jam when her team’s Pivot is already serving time in the penalty box, the correct course of action is to remove the Pivot from the jam as if she were an extra skater. This is to be done after the jam starting whistle, and she is not to be warned before then.  She has designated herself as a Pivot to the opposing team, the referees, the fans when the jam starting whistle has blown and there is already a skater from her team designated Pivot in the lineup.  She may stay only if she removes the Pivot cover before the jam starting whistle.
