What are roller derby jams?

Roller Derby Jams are what the periods of a bout are split into. So in a Bout you have 2 periods, each are 30 minutes long. During the periods, you have what we call Jams, which last either 2 minutes or until the Lead Jammer ends the Jam by "calling it off". Since not every jam is 2 minutes there is no specified number of jams in one period. hope this helps. =)
