It was originally invented in the United States in the 1930\u2019s and had ups and downs in popularity in the next decades. At the beginning of the 21st century it became popular again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roller Derby game play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gameplay consists of a series of short scrimmages (jams) in which both teams designate 1 jammer (who wears a star on their helmet) and 4 blockers to skate counter-clockwise around an oval track. Jammers score points by lapping members of the opposing team. The teams attempt to hinder the opposing jammer while assisting their own jammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><p><em>Do you think roller derby looks cool?
