WFTDA Releases Rules Clarifications, Correction

The WFTDA Rules Committee has released clarifications and a correction of the December 1, 2014, Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby.

Newly added Q&As and an updated Publication include:

• Cutting a Non-Initiator, clarifying the appropriate circumstances for a Cutting the Track penalty when relative position is gained after returning from out of bounds, regardless of whether an opposing skater initiated contact
• Jammer Lap Point, which provides additional information on how to apply Rule 7.2.8, as updated in the December 2014 rule set, regarding earning a Jammer Lap Point
• Maintaining Clockwise Momentum, which updates a previous Publication regarding Rule 5.9.21 defining “actively maintaining clockwise momentum” as it relates to a Direction of Game Play penalty

The Q&As and Publication can be found at Rules Central and will be included in the iOS and Android updates expected in March.

The Errata include the following:

• The citation in rule 8.2.6.3 should be 8.2.6.1.3-8.2.6.1.8

The citation listed in the Errata has been updated in the WFTDA and MRDA PDFs, line-by-line document and online rules. The iOS and Android app updates and rules booklets expected in March will also reflect the correct citation.

All updated documents and changes can be found at Rules Central.
