I get into that "argument" around here also. It boils down to "what is the impact that you are penalizing?" If you are penalizing someone for forcing an opponent out of bounds, or down, during a no pack: that is a loss of position -> Out of play block (no gerunds here).   If the impact you are penalizing is that the pack did not reform quickly enough and this player was not acting to reform the pack -> failure to reform. Some people try to say that "the blocker was impeding the jammer, so it is a contact penalty" to make the case for out of play block. Impeding is only a penalizable metric for illegal blocking zone penalties (forearms, leg blocks, head blocks).

In a "no pack" scenario, the front group is expected to disengage contact with the jammer, and return to the pack.
When the blockers fail to do so, I have been calling "Failure to Reform" penalties. My colleagues are insisting that it is "blocking out of play". Which, yes, is an appropriate penalty, if there is impact ( loss of position).
Comments?

Greetings, I wanted to consult with the referee community about a resource I wanted to make to guide the new officers. This is the positioning on the track to control the pack and offside actions. I have seen referees that, sometimes, where the action is (A jammer fought with two blocks, for example) we change the point of view and lose the focus of the pack or important areas to be controlled. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g38clwygrjjhzss/Tips%20Refs%20.pdf?dl=0I have to fix some details, as in the first two images that the pack is poorly defined, it is an outline to see how it looks and what you think. I would appreciate some feedback and I appreciate the time you spend. ^^

So let's say Jammer A passes Jammer B. Then Jammer B reaches over Jammer A and passes the star to pivot who puts it on. Jammer A then passes the new jammer. How is this scored? Jammer A didn't get the point of the initial pass of Jammer because lap points are done away with. And then the Jammer A doesn't get the point on the pivot turned Jammer and then a full pass would only count as three points?

No. If the Jammer starts the jam in the penalty box and dons the cover prior to making all the passes they need to earn Lead Jammer, they should be awarded lead. I'm basing this on Scenario C2.2.2.A: Red Jammer starts the Jam with their helmet cover inside-out. The stars are not visible with high contrast. They remove the cover, invert it, and put it back on their helmet. They then legally pass all Skaters, including the foremost Blocker.
Outcome: Red Jammer is declared Lead.
Rationale: Since Red Jammer did not have the ability to gain Lead prior to removing the Star from their head, they did not lose that ability.
Keep in Mind: If Red Jammer had removed the Star when the stars were visible, they would have lost the ability to gain Lead. This scenario is similar: since they didn't have the ability to gain Lead until they were out of the Penalty Box AND wearing the cover with the Star visible, they didn't lose that ability, so they're still eligible to gain the ability and then earn Lead.

Rules state: "...Jammer must pass the foremost in-play blocker legally, in bounds, and upright, while wearing the Jammer cover with the stars visible...."
If starting the jam in the penalty box, does the player have to be wearing the helmet cover?

That is correct. A multiplayer block penalty requires two teammates to have a link or grasp between them and an opponent to attempt to pass between those two players and be impeded. The opponent does not need to directly challenge the link,or grasp, itself.
From OP it is not completely clear if there is link or grasp going on. If there is, issue the penalty. If there is not a link or grasp going on, there is not a multiplayer block penalty to issue.

Two White blockers are facing each other in the middle of the track and the arms pointing in the counterclockwise direction are bracing each other's shoulders. The blockers have formed a triangle with their braced arms away from any incoming skater and their bodies making up the other two sides creating a kind of pincer or something that resembles a binder clip. A jammer skates in and challenges the seam made by their shoulders facing the clockwise direction. I had one ref suggest this constitutes a multiplayer despite the fact that the brace or link itself isn't being challenged because without the brace/link the jammer should be able to more easily shove one of the skaters out of the way to create a gap. Is this correct?
