Ghost Points



Ever wonder how a jammer can score her full 4 (or 5, depending on the opposing jammer) points if there are opposing players in the box? That's where ghost points come into play.

On every scoring pass, as soon a jammer scores her first point, she also picks up 'ghost points' or 'not on the track points' for any opposing player that 1)is in the penalty box, 2)is on the way to the penalty box, 3)is returning from the penalty box (but is behind the jammer), 4)has removed herself from play, 5) was not fielded on the track before the start of the jam.

Rules about ghost points fall under Section 8 SCORING.
