—Origin: Section 5.4

Scenario C5.4.A

Le.la Capitaine Blanc.he est le.la Jammeur.se et commet une pénalité. En réaction, le Staff de l’équipe Blanche jure de manière audible à l’encontre de l’Officiel.le qui a donné la pénalité.

Conséquence : Une pénalité est attribuée au.à la Capitaine Blanc.he pour l’insubordination du Staff de son équipe, mais le temps de pénalité du.de la Capitaine Blanc.he dans la Penalty Box en tant que Jammeur.se n’est pas prolongé. Après le Jam, si le.la Capitaine Blanc.he n’est plus assis.e dans la Box en tant que Jammeur.se, le.la Capitaine Blanc.he doit revenir en Box en tant que Bloqueur.se pour purger la pénalité causée par le Staff de son équipe.

Raisonnement : Lorsqu’un.e Capitaine purge une pénalité dû au fait qu’il.elle est le.a Capitaine de son équipe, la pénalité est purgée par le.a Capitaine au poste de Bloqueur.se. Dans ce scénario, le.a Capitaine n’a pas été en mesure de purger tout de suite sa pénalité en tant que Bloqueur.se car il.elle ne pouvait pas occuper le poste de Bloqueur.se. Dès qu’il.elle sera en mesure de patiner en tant que Bloqueur.se, il.elle devra alors revenir en Box en tant que Bloqueur.se afin de purger cette pénalité.

Scenario C5.4.B

White Blocker is penalized and directed to the Penalty Box. White Blocker seems unaware of the call and remains on the track. After several repeated calls, Officials are able to draw the attention of White Blocker, and they exit the track.

Outcome: White Blocker is penalized for neglectfully failing to immediately exit the track for a penalty.

Rationale: White Blocker has gained advantage and disrupted the flow of the game through lack of attention to clear instructions from the Officials.

Keep in Mind: Before assessing an additional penalty in this manner, Officials must ensure that:

  1. The penalty was called using the correct hand signal and verbal cue.

  2. The Official calling the penalty was correctly positioned for the Skater to potentially see the call.

  3. The Official calling the penalty did so loudly enough to be heard, given the Official’s position, and the constraints and volume of the venue.

Scenario C5.4.C

White Blocker is penalized while blocking Red Jammer. After acknowledging the call, White Blocker continues blocking Red Jammer to allow White Blocker’s teammate to get in position and impede Red Jammer’s progress. White Blocker then exits the track.

Outcome: White Blocker is penalized for willfully failing to immediately exit the track for a penalty.

Rationale: White Blocker has gained advantage through intentional disregard of the rules.

Keep in Mind: A penalized Skater is not required to behave as if a penalty has been assessed until the Official has completed the appropriate hand signals and verbal cues.

Scenario C5.4.D

White Blocker commits a penalty and is directed to the Penalty Box by an Official. White Blocker skates towards the Penalty Box, remaining in bounds for a significant distance before exiting the track.

Outcome: White Blocker is penalized for willfully failing to immediately exit the track for a penalty.

Rationale: White Blocker has gained advantage through intentional disregard of the rules.

Keep in Mind: Factors that an Official would use to determine that a Skater has failed to immediately exit the track include, but are not limited to:

  1. The Skater has substantially reduced the distance they needed to skate in order to enter the Penalty Box.

  2. Intentional disruption of gameplay, substantially more than would be expected from a Skater who is safely, legally, and immediately exiting the track.

Keep in Mind: A penalized Skater who is attempting to exit the track legally, but does not have an opportunity due to gameplay conditions, should not be penalized in this manner.
