If a White Jammer crosses the boundary line multiple times during a play, how is the penalty assessed?

When a White Jammer crosses the boundary line during a play, the assessment of the penalty depends on whether any contact was made with opposing players. If the jammer crosses the line without contact with other players, it is considered a non-violation, meaning there isn't a penalty applied for simply crossing the boundary. This understanding acknowledges the importance of context in roller derby; crossing out of bounds isn't inherently penalized unless it affects gameplay or involves physical interaction with opponents.

In contrast, if a jammer were to cross the boundary line while under contact or engages in actions that disrupt the game or other players, that would lead to penalties. The rationale behind this is to maintain the game's flow and ensure that players adhere to the boundaries established by the rules for safety and fairness. Thus, the absence of contact keeps the play within acceptable limits, allowing the jammer to continue without penalty for crossing alone.
