Dodgeball Rules
The Game
The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "Out". This may be done by:
1.Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders.
2.Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.
Defn. LIVE: A ball that has been thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor/ground, another ball, another player, official or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc)
Boundaries
During play, all players must remain withing the boundary lines, except to retrieve stray balls.
The Opening Rush
Game begins by placing the dodgeballs along the center line. Players then take position behind their end line. Following a signal by the official, teams may approach the centerline to retrieve the balls. This signal officially starts the contest.
Timing and Winning a Game
The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner. A 5 min. time limit has been established for each contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the end of the 5 min., the team with the greater number of players remaining will be declared the winner.
5-Second Violation
In order to reduce stalling, a violation will be called if a team in the lead controls all 6 balls on their side of the court for more than 5 second. This also applies to tied teams.
Rule Enforcement
During pool play or regular-season matches, rules will be enforced primarily by the "honor system". Players will be expected to rule whether they were legally eliminated. All contests will be supervised by a court monitor. The court monitor's responsibility will be to rule on any situation in which teams cannot agree. THE COURT MONITOR'S DECISION IS FINAL- NO EXCEPTIONS.
