Get on Next Season's E-mail List!	T·E·A·M·S R·U·L·E·S  edited: March 5, 2009  Official Dodgeball Rules Rockwell Collins Recreation Center 2009 The Team - The teams will be made up of 6-10 players. Six players will compete on each side during each match; the others will be available as substitutes. Substitutions may enter the game only between matches or in the case of injury. The Field - The two basketball court areas will be used. The walls and nets will serve as the outer boundaries. The next red lines parallel to the center-line form the attack lines. The Equipment - Each game will use 6 green dodge balls. Each ball is 8.25 inches in diameter and made of foam. The Game - The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them ’OUT’. This is done by: 1. Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball.  a. Any shot below the neck will be considered an ’OUT’.  b. Players may not purposely duck to have a ball hit them above the shoulders or else the ’OUT’ will be considered correct. 2. Knocking the ball out of an opponents hand when they try to block a throw. 3. Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground, the wall, or another ball.  * A ball deflecting off of a held ball and striking the holder is no longer a live ball.  * If someone is holding one ball he/she is still allowed to catch or throw another ball. Stalling Penalty - If one team has control of all of the balls for more than five seconds all of the balls must be rolled across the floor for the other team’s possession. Once all balls are in one teams possession, 5 seconds can be counted aloud as ’1 banana, 2 banana, etc.’ Players Back In – If a ball is caught resulting in the ’OUT’ of a player of the opposing team, one player from the team who caught the ball is allowed back on the court. Players return to play in the same order that they got ’OUT’. The Rush - The match begins with placing 6 dodge balls out evenly along the center-line. Players stand with one hand touching their back boundary wall. Following a signal, teams approach the center-line to retrieve the balls. Once a ball is retrieved it must be taken behind the attack-line before it can be legally thrown. The Match - The ’Best of Five’ format will be used. The first team to win 3 matches will be declared the winner. Each match should last a maximum of 5 minutes. The clock on the gym wall is to be used. If the match must be ended because of time allowances, the team with the most players left on the court win. If each side has the same number of players a ’Sudden Death’ play will begin. All players enter the game, and the next team to lose a player on the court loses the entire match.	N·E·W·S Dodgeball League Postponed by: Brandon Bond posted: Sunday, May 23, 2010 Due to the lack of Teams signed up we are going to Cancel this Season of Dodgeball League as of today and maybe try doing it a month or so, before Basketball and Volleyball start up. We are going to issue a refund to everyone that signed up. Q&A Say What?? by: Josiah Sanner posted: Wednesday, April 8, 2009 If you have questions from a game please let me know, and I will get an answer posted. Q1: If at the start of a game I run up for a ball, but haven’t gotten back across the ’no throw’ zone yet, I can’t get out right? A: Wrong, you are fair game! For a ball to be thrown at an opponent the ball must first pass the attack-line, but all players are eligible targets the whole time. Q2: Can I catch my own tip? A: Because of the difficulty in seeing a ’bobble’, all balls are live until they hit another ball, the ground, a wall, or another player. You can not catch someone else’s tip, but you can catch your own. Q3: What happens if I step on the opponents attack-line? A: If you touch or cross the far attack-line you will be considered out. You may reach across to grab a ball, but no contact with the floor may be made. Q4: If you catch a ball after it hits anything other than yourself, is it considered a valid catch? A: No... As soon as a thrown ball hits the net, the floor, a ball, or another person, the throw is dead. You can catch a dead ball, but it isn’t considered a ’catch’.
