3. Score

3.1. Earning Points

Jammers score one point every time they lap an opposing Blocker.

—Origin: Section 3.1

Scenario C3.1.A

Red Jammer approaches the Pack for their second trip. Red Jammer passes all opponents except a White Non-Pivot Blocker, who blocks Red Jammer out, forcing Red Jammer to re-enter behind the Pack. Before Red Jammer reenters the Pack, White Jammer passes the Star to White Pivot. Red Jammer reenters the Pack, passes all opponents again, and exits the Engagement Zone.

Points: Quatre points.

Rationale: As a result of the successful Star Pass, the White Jammer and White Pivot exchange status in terms of scoring and being scored upon. Since the Red Jammer had already scored on the original White Pivot before the Star Pass, they have the point for the White Blocker (originally the White Jammer) in this trip and cannot score it again.

Keep in Mind: Were it White Pivot who blocked Red Jammer out, and White Pivot received a Star Pass and exited the Engagement Zone before being passed, Red Jammer could still score four points by earning a pass on the former White Jammer (now a Blocker).

Scenario C3.1.B

Red Jammer enters the Pack ahead of White Jammer, while White Jammer is approaching the Pack for their second trip. Red Jammer passes the Star, and the new Red Jammer escapes the Pack. White Jammer enters the Pack and passes all four Red Blockers (including the original Red Jammer).

Points : Le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he gagne quatre points.

Rationale: All Blockers are considered to be tied together with respect to the opposing Jammer’s trip through the Pack. Even though White Jammer did not lap the original Red Jammer, when Red Jammer became a Blocker, this gave White Jammer lapping position.

Scenario C3.1.C

Intentionally Removed

Scenario C3.1.D

White Jammer is on their second trip through the Pack and jumps the apex, passing all four Red Blockers while mid-air. White Jammer’s right skate lands in bounds, with their hips ahead of all Blockers. As a result of the same action, White Jammer’s left skate subsequently lands out of bounds.

Points: Quatre points.

Rationale: White Jammer’s in-bounds status was maintained while airborne because the first part of their skate to touch back down touched in bounds. White Jammer’s upright status was maintained while airborne because they touched the floor skate first. The fact that White Jammer touched out of bounds with the other skate does not affect points (but does affect their subsequent position relative to the Skaters they passed while airborne).

3.2. Scoring Trips

Points are grouped by trips through the Pack.

—Origin: Section 3.2

Scenario C3.2.A

Intentionally Removed

Scenario C3.2.B

White Pivot is sent to the Penalty Box shortly after the Jam begins. Red Jammer completes their first trip through the Pack, and begins their second. Red Jammer earns a pass on two White Blockers before White Pivot returns to the track and the Jam is called.

Points: Trois points.

Rationale: On Red Jammer’s second trip through the Pack, they earned a pass on White Pivot by earning a pass on the first White Blocker while White Pivot was penalized.

Scenario C3.2.C

At the start of the Jam, Red Jammer blocks White Jammer out of bounds and skates clockwise. Red Jammer leaves the Engagement Zone from the rear, reenters it from the front, and skates in bounds to the rear of the Pack. White Jammer comes in behind Red Jammer, and gets stuck in the Pack prior to restarting their initial trip through the Pack. Red Jammer skates forward, exits the Engagement Zone from the front, enters the Engagement Zone from the rear, earns passes on all opponents, and completes their initial trip through the Pack.

Points: Zéro point.

Rationale: Even though Red Jammer earned passes while « lapping » all opposing Blockers on their initial trip through the Pack, passes prior to the initial trip do not count toward lapping Blockers.

Scenario C3.2.D

White Blocker begins the Jam in the Penalty Box. Red Jammer finishes their first trip through the Pack and begins their second. White Blocker returns to the track behind Red Jammer. Red Jammer earns passes on all opponents and exits the front of the Engagement Zone.

Points: Quatre points.

Rationale: Because White Blocker returned to the track behind Red Jammer, Red Jammer could still earn a pass on them by earning a pass on another White Blocker.

Keep in Mind: If White Blocker had passed Red Jammer before Red Jammer earned a pass on another opposing Blocker, Red Jammer would have to earn a pass on the returning White Blocker to score their point as usual.

Scenario C3.2.E

Intentionally Removed

3.3. Scoring Avoidance

Opponents can only avoid being scored upon by remaining ahead of the Jammer, or by ensuring that when they are passed, the pass is not earned.

—Origin: Section 3.3

Scenario C3.3.A

Le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he est dans son deuxième passage à travers le Pack et dépasse tou·tes les Bloqueur·ses adverses à l’exception du·de la Pivot Rouge, qui se trouve devant lui.elle. Le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he sort à l’avant de la zone d’engagement alors que le·la Pivot Rouge se trouve toujours devant lui·elle.

Points: Quatre points.

Raisonnement : Quitter la Zone d’Engagement en avant du·de la Jammeur·se adverse n’est pas un moyen valide pour un·e Bloqueur·se tel·le que le·la Pivot Rouge de ne pas se faire marquer. Avec cette action, il·elle a empêché le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he d’obtenir son point en le.la dépassant pendant son deuxième passage à travers le Pack. Le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he est alors considéré·e comme ayant gagné un dépassement sur le·la Pivot Rouge lorsqu’il·elle termine son deuxième passage à travers le Pack. Les autres Bloqueur·ses opposé·es avaient déjà été marqué·es de façon habituelle.

Keep in Mind: Had the Jam ended before White Jammer exited the Engagement Zone but while Red Pivot was ahead of them and also ahead of the Engagement Zone, White Jammer would have earned the pass on Red Pivot for the same reason because the Jam ending completes the scoring trip. However, had Red Pivot remained inside the Engagement Zone but ahead of White Jammer, White Jammer would not have earned a pass on Red Pivot because they had the opportunity to do so while inside the Engagement Zone.

Scenario C3.3.B

White Jammer is on their second trip through the Pack. They earn a pass on all opposing Blockers except Red Pivot, who is in front of them. Red Pivot forces White Jammer out of bounds, and then goes out of play. Red Pivot turns around, returns to play, and ends up behind White Jammer who is still out of bounds. White Jammer reenters in front of Red Pivot, and just ahead of the Engagement Zone.

Points: Trois points.

Rationale: When White Jammer reentered the track outside the Engagement Zone, their second trip through the Pack was complete. At that time, Red Pivot was in play. As such, White Jammer had the opportunity to earn a pass on Red Pivot during that trip through the Pack by returning to play inside the Engagement Zone, and then passing the Red Pivot.

Scenario C3.3.C

White Jammer begins their second trip through the Pack. Red Blocker 1 is sent to the Penalty Box. Red Blocker 2 removes themself from play to address an equipment issue. White Jammer has not passed Red Blockers 3 or 4. The Jam is then called off.

Points: Zéro point.

Raisonnement : Le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he n’a dépassé aucun·e adversaire avant la fin du Jam.

Keep in Mind: White Jammer had the opportunity to earn a pass on Red Blockers 3 or 4, and would have thereby earned a pass on Red Blocker 1 and Red Blocker 2 for a total of three points.

Scenario C3.3.D

White Jammer begins their second trip through the Pack. Red Blockers 1 and 2 are already seated in the Penalty Box. Red Blocker 3 goes to the Box for a penalty. Red Blocker 4 removes themself from play to address an equipment issue. White Jammer skates past their own teammates.

Points: Quatre points.

Raisonnement : Parce qu’il n’y avait aucune opportunité pour le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he de dépasser l’un·e de ses adversaires, le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he gagne un dépassement sur chacun·e d’entre eux·elles en terminant le passage à travers la Zone d’Engagement, tel que défini pendant une situation de No Pack.

Scenario C3.3.E

White Jammer begins their second trip through the Pack. Red Blockers 1 and 2 are already seated in the Penalty Box. Red Blocker 3 loses a toe stop and removes themself from active play. Red Blocker 4 is issued a penalty and is told to remain on the track, but skates off anyway. White Jammer skates past their teammates and Red Blocker 4 while the Officials tell Red Blocker 4 to return to the track.

Points: Quatre points.

Raisonnement : Comme le·la Bloqueur·se Rouge 4 n’a pas été envoyé·e en dehors de la piste pour aller en Penalty Box, ce·tte Bloqueur·se fait toujours partie du jeu (il·elle est juste en dehors des limites de la piste). Lorsque le·la Jammeur·se Blanc·he est passé·e à côté du·de la Bloqueur·se Rouge 4, le dépassement a été validé normalement même si le·la Bloqueur·se Rouge 4 était en dehors des limites à ce moment-là.

Keep in Mind: If Red Blocker 4 had taken off quickly so that White Jammer was denied the opportunity to earn a pass on Red Blocker 4, then when White Jammer completed their trip through the Engagement Zone, they would have earned the pass on Red Blocker 4 just as though Red Blocker 4 were ahead of the Engagement Zone (but still in bounds). Because there is no Pack, White Jammer’s trip through the Engagement Zone is completed when they are 20 ft (6.10 m) in front of the foremost in-bounds member of the prior Pack (in this case, their teammate).

Scenario C3.3.F

Le·la Jammeur·se Rouge commet une pénalité au début de son deuxième passage à travers le Pack, en n’ayant dépassé aucun·e adversaire pendant ce passage. Alors que le·la Jammeur·se Rouge se trouve dans la Penalty Box, deux Bloqueur·ses Blanc·hes sont envoyé·es en Box. Le·la Jammeur·se Rouge est libéré·e et revient dans la Zone d’Engagement. Le Pack se déplace rapidement et le·la Jammeur·se Rouge ne dépasse personne. Les deux autres Bloqueur·ses Blanc·hes sont relâché·es et reviennent sur la piste derrière le·la Jammeur·se Rouge. Le Jam prend fin.

Points: Zéro point.

Rationale: Red Jammer had an opportunity to earn a pass on the two penalized White Blockers by earning a pass on one of the unpenalized White Blockers.

Scenario C3.3.G

Intentionally Removed

Scenario C3.3.H

Intentionally Removed

Scenario C3.3.I

Le·la Jammeur·se Rouge termine son premier passage à travers le Pack et dépasse un·e Bloqueur·se adverse alors qu’il·elle retire l’Étoile. Alors que l’Étoile est retirée, les trois autres Bloqueur·ses adverses commettent des pénalités et sont envoyé·es en Penalty Box. Le Jam prend fin alors que l’Étoile du Jammeur·se Rouge se trouve toujours dans ses mains.

Résultat: Un point.

Raisonnement : Le·la Jammeur·se Rouge n’était pas en mesure de gagner des points pendant que l’Étoile était retirée, mais il·elle a tout de même reçu le point gagné pendant que l’Étoile était sur son casque.

Remarque : Si le·la Jammeur·se Rouge avait remis son Étoile avant la fin du Jam, il·elle aurait gagné des points pour les autres Bloqueur·ses adverses dès que l’Étoile aurait été remise sur son casque.

Scenario C3.3.J

Red Jammer begins a scoring trip and is ahead of White Jammer. Red Jammer earns passes on three White Blockers but remains behind White Pivot. White Jammer successfully passes the Star to White Pivot, but remains behind Red Jammer. Red Jammer completes their scoring trip having never earned a pass on the original White Jammer (now Blocker).

Outcome: Four points.

Rationale: Red Jammer must have at least one opportunity to earn a pass on all opposing Blockers on every trip through the Pack, including a Jammer-turned-Blocker as a result of a Star Pass. When the Jammer becomes a Blocker, they are considered a Blocker returning to active gameplay (see Section 2.5).

3.4. Penalized Jammers

When a Jammer is penalized, they are considered to no longer be on the track.

—Origin: Section 3.4

Scenario C3.4.A

Le·la Jammeur·se Rouge termine son passage initial à travers le Pack et n’a dépassé aucun·e Bloqueur·se adverse quand il·elle commet deux pénalités à la suite. Il·elle est envoyé·e en Penalty Box pendant 60 secondes, pendant lesquelles les quatre Bloqueur·ses adverses commettent également des pénalités et sont envoyé·es en Box. Le·la Jammeur·se Rouge revient à l’arrière du Pack, mais le Jam prend fin avant qu’il·elle ne puisse dépasser les autres adversaires.

Résultat: Aucun point.

Rationale: Red Jammer did not earn a pass on any opposing Blockers, so they were not eligible to earn any Not-On-the-Track points.

Remarque : Si le·la Jammeur·se Rouge avait dépassé l’un·e des Bloqueur·ses adverses avant que sa pénalité ne soit purgée, il·elle aurait gagné des points pour les autres Bloqueur·ses adverses lors de son retour sur la piste.

Keep in Mind: If Red Jammer had earned a pass on an opposing Blocker once they returned from serving their penalty but before the Jam ended, they would have also earned a point on any opposing Blockers still seated in the Box or any opposing Blockers returning from the Box behind Red Jammer.
