Assuming MRDA rules are similar to WFTDA rules, knees to the groin and punching are not allowed, but rolling backward is (as long as you mean that the player is physically facing the opposition direction, but still travelling in the correct direction around the track). You can shove, but it has to be with a hip or shoulder, not with hands, elbows, feet, etc.

[@abanabee]

You’re allowed to be traveling in the opposite direction in WFTDA… you can’t be PUSHING someone in the opposite direction, but you can, say, skate back to get with the pack, or to walk someone back after you’ve hit them off the track. There are lots of examples where skating in the opposite direction is totally fine as long as you’re not physically pushing.

[@master_moose]

@@abanabee Yeah, you're right. I had forgotten about that! Fortunately in my position all I really had to remember was the hand signals from the refs so I could announce why someone was going to the penalty box. ;) Also, we missed the last two seasons due to the pandemic, so I've probably forgotten a lot

[@master_moose]

Really I felt like the show was ridiculing and misrepresenting the only sport that I actually care about and it kinda touched a nerve. It can be difficult getting new people to come to bouts, because they think that it's just spectacle, like pro wrestling on skates, and not a real sport.
