The league in Seattle Washington has had crowds as large as 5 thousand. We will not be expecting to sell out 5 thousand seat arenas any time soon but we hope to get at least a few hundred in to view our games for starters. ___________________________________________________________A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME............................There are two teams of five skaters for each game. Each team consists of a pivot, three blockers and a jammer. The pivot sets the pace and leads the group of skaters, and the blockers stay behind them, guarding each other in what we call "the pack." The jammers are the scoring skaters and start about 20 feet behind the pack. When the whistle blows, the pack takes off. On a second whistle, the jammers start fighting their way through the pack. When the first jammer makes it through the pack, she's designated the "lead jammer" and the jam officially begins. The jammers must lap the pack once before sprinting through the pack to score points by passing members of the opposing team. A jam lasts a maximum of two minutes. The rest of the team tries to stop the opposing jammer from passing them and scoring. At the same time, they knock around the opposing team's blockers trying to help their jammer score. These are the basics of the game. It may sound slightly confusing at first but it is an easy game to learn...
