Super Derby Darlings

The Super Derby Darlings is a roller derby team based in Bakerline, Metropolis. They wear the S symbol in honor of their city’s hero: Superman. They have a number of long-time members, but always open for newbies to join. They also work together as a team on community service projects, and social awareness projects.

Uniform
The Super Derby Darlings wear white-grey helmets, and some sort of baby tee or tank top of green and pink. Their top has a big blue S that has been ironed on. They wear green booty shorts with blue ‘SUPER’ letters ironed across the bottoms, and pink fishnets. They wear pink and green soccer socks, and roller skates that are pink, green, or a mixture of the two. The protection gear is all sorts of multi-colors, depending on the Derby Girl’s preference.

Roller Derby Rules
A team is made up of five (5) girls on the track at a time: a pivot, a jammer, and three blockers.

A game is made up of two bouts, which are 30-minutes each. Each bout is filled with two-minute Jams.

At the beginning of a Jam, a whistle is blown and the opposing pivots set the pace as they lead the Blockers around the ring. A double whistle is blown, and the Jammers start. The Jammers have to get through the Blockers.

The first Jammer through causes a whistle to be blown and a referee points and follows the Lead Jammer around the track.

To score a point, a Jammer needs to move around the track and get through the Pack a second time. The Lead Jammer can cut a Jam short by putting their hands on their hips.

The Blockers are to prevent the pass of the Jammer on the other team and interfere with the Blockers of the other team to let their Jammer past. They do this by body checking the opposing Blockers and Jammer.

Illegal Maneuvers
You cannot grab, use your hands, block with forearms, trip, kick, or block with feet/legs, shove, punch, swing, or jab elbows. You cannot block with your head, or block jammers while 20 feet ahead or behind the pack, or hit from behind (back-blocking).

Points
A Jammer scores a point for each opposing blocker they past on the second pass.

Protection:

Each roller derby girl wears a skating helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, and mouth guard.

Symbols
Those that have symbols to go on their helmets, pull a cloth with a star on the side or a stripe going down the center.
