Cheap Cheezy and Kind of Sleazy - Hide the Jammer

Okay, so I went to reference a wftda clarification and the archive is gone. GONE! I am mad, yo. So I am going to enlist some accomplices and play "hide the jammer".
 3.3.2.2 The Jammer helmet cover must be on the skater’s helmet or in the skater’s hand before the jam-starting whistle. Helmet covers cannot enter a jam in progress.
3.3.2.3 A skater lined up in the Jammer Starting Position will not be considered an active Jammer unless the skater is wearing a helmet cover with visible stars.
3.3.3 An inactive Jammer has the advantage of all Jammer abilities except scoring points (Section 8 Scoring) and earning Lead Jammer status (Section 3.4 Lead Jammer).

 4.2.4 Jammer Starting Position: Jammers line up on or behind the Jammer Line.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh my word.  OH. MY. WORD.

So to be allowed to be a jammer in a jam, you must only have the helmet cover WADDED UP IN YOUR FIST when the jam starts. 

And you must only be somewhere forward of the pivot line and behind the jammer line when the jam starts.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.

So you can on the straight between turns 2 and 3, step onto the track at 5 seconds, accelerate, coast while putting the helmet cover on, and cross the line.

Or, get this, you can "false start" by lining up with the blockers and while they eat the other jammers soul, yield to her, THEN put on your stars and bolt.  This is risky because the player getting the "return to the bench" might not be you, though.

So line up with your blockers in the back and just hippity hop yourself back over 2 seconds before the whistle.

Plus, you can put on your stars WHENEVER YOU WANT TO.  If you want to hang out for a few seconds and let them think that you forgot to field a jammer, bueno.  All depends on blocker strength and how much chaos you want to cause.
