No, there's 5 on the track at one time, the other three are subs.

Here's how it works:

1 2 3 4 5
B B P J J
B B P J J

(B=Blocker P=Pivot, J=Jammer)

How it works: The Fast Action Card (FAC for short) will provide an action:

Example: BIG Blocker in 2 pushes his opponent out of the way, clearing space for Jammer.

You would check the players in position 2 for the BIG stat.

If NEITHER have the BIG ability=No action, move on to the next card
If BOTH have the BIG ability=, roll a die 1-4 the home team advances one step closer to launching the jam, on a 5-6 the visiting team does
If ONE has the BIG Ability and the other does not= Advance that team one step closer to the jam (and if they have the ability starred, then they advance an extra space, basically BIG* is like BIGx2)


On the JAM track, advancing three spaces means that you're the lead jammer for that jam. You are more likely to score (but you're not guaranteed to score more than the opposition, just that you're the team to break loose first)

However, there is also a POWER JAM.. a Power Jam is a fourth square down the track.. it can only be reached by advancing two squares in one action, or deliberately playing for the POWER JAM by deciding not to JAM when you hit the square. It's a risky play, because if the other team hits the JAM square (the third) before you advance to POWER JAM, they can launch the Jam themselves and deny you the lead jammer ability.

But if you DO hit power jam, then you are the only team that can score any points, it's assumed that your Jammer breaks away completely while the other team's jammers are stuck in the pack, and they stay back to try to block
