question:
Is it true that if you knock the opposing jammer out of bounds before they get to the first pass, that they are unable to achieve lead jammer status?
Thanks!

Yes, if either jammer goes even slightly out of bounds before they reach the Engagement Zone on their first pass, they are ineligible to become lead jammer.
Code:
3.4.2.2 To remain eligible for Lead Jammer, a Jammer must remain in bounds until she is within 20 feet of the pack, a.k.a. the Engagement Zone, the area in which she may be legally engaged by a Blocker. No part of her skate(s) may touch the ground outside the track boundary before she initially enters the Engagement Zone. Until she initially reaches the Engagement Zone, a Jammer may be blocked out of bounds by the opposing Jammer, rendering her ineligible to become Lead Jammer.
