I am a (relativity new) NSO who has to be penalty tracker at a tournament this weekend so I have been watching the penalty hand signals over and over again. Thanks guys :)
"This is to signal to skaters and officials that play is either starting or ending" is the most difficult sentence I've ever had to say! I'm not joking! :D
@sdlorimor Rotating the jam refs hand to show points is not an official WFTDA practice. It sounds like your league has some of its own procedures for showing points. Many leagues/venues have scorekeepers on the outside of the track next to the scoreboard operator so for a farther view rotating helps for clarity. For different set-ups different procedures can be recommended but remember that you are showing your points to the team benches, announcers and fans in addition to the scorekeepers.
You are correct, a couple of these are out of date with the new release of the rules! The ones that have changed are: Misconduct/Gross Misconduct (changed), 4th Minor (removed), Delay of Game (added). Please let me know if I failed to mention any other changes here. Also, we do hope to update the video file but it is a bit time consuming, so for now I suggest you watch the video for all the other signals that are still the same, and then refer to the official WFTDA appendix for the rest!
@6950062 Ah well, we did not have a track in this particular demonstration. Would be a little difficult to roller skate in snow :) When Helsinki Roller Derby actually plays though, there is a track set up in an indoor facility that meets all of the WFTDA standards.
At time code 1:10, you suggest rotating the scoring hand back and forth. I did this for my league and was quickly asked to stop. In my league rotating the hand to signifies that five points were scored, something akin to patting your hat on top to reflect a grand slam. I am uncertain whether your approach or my leagues' is more prevalent. To allow visibility for the scorekeeper, it is simply suggested I angle my hand at all times towards the center of the track where the scorekeeper resides.
