Question:

Who receives penalties when multiple players are involved in an illegal block outside the engagement zone?

Answer:

Penalties are assigned to all out of play Blockers involved in an illegal action.

Question:
If a Blocker can line up behind the Jammer line can said blocker hit the opposing Jammer before the Jammer starting whistle?

Answer:
No.  The Blocker is out of play and any blocking is therefore illegal.  In addition, Blockers will receive a minor penalty for lining up anywhere on the track not between the Jammer and Pivot lines.   

Question:

Is overtime considered an extension of the final period or a whole new period?

Answer:

Overtime is an extension of the final period. Players ejected from that period are not eligible to return to play for overtime. Major and minor penalty inventories towards ejection are not reset, neither are trips to the penalty box inventories.

Question:
Is there any limit to how far behind the Jammer line a Jammer may line up?

Answer:
There is no limit–the Jammer may line up anywhere on the track, excluding between the Jammer and Pivot lines, without accruing penalties.  If the Jammer is lined up right in front of the Pivot line she still has to skate all the way around and catch up to the rear of the Pack before her “initial pass” will start.

Question:

Does one player’s illegal action give an opposing player free reign to commit an illegal action in order to negate the first illegal action?

Answer:

A player committing one penalty does not give the fouled-on player carte blanche to commit a second penalty. Referees must issue penalties for all illegal actions.

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.
