Hi all! I am redo'ing this series (and finishing it this time) on the official "Windy City Rollers TV" channel. So if you want to see more/better videos on the updated rules please support us there - thank you!! - Pixie

Thank you for this! There isn't a roller derby league where I live, mainly due to lack of appropriate facilities. But I'm very interested in spectating online haha! You explained certain scenarios really well, so now I feel like I have a deeper understanding of the rules :)

[@taylorjriley]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! My sister in law just started in a league and I realized I didn't know the rules!

It's the ultimate roller derby ubiquitous magnet board! Best on chrome, also a phone app

[@isawthat167]

How is it decided if the yellow blockers or the pink blockers are in front?

[@RollerDerbyHigh]

Whoever takes the front, basically. Blockers can start anywhere between the jam and pivot lines, often they will be mixed up instead of purely in front or behind the other team but for simplicity I kept them separated. I'll explain jam starting positioning in a future vid!

So it's human bumper cars, got it

[@RollerDerbyHigh]

Hahahaha that's a good analogy!
