DODGEBALL RULES
THE GAME
The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This may be
done by:
 Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders. (Head shots are
illegal. Thrower will be out!)
 Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.
Definition of 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 within the boundary lines. Players may leave the boundaries
through their end-line only to retrieve stray balls. They must also return through their endline. Also, players who step over the center line are immediately disqualified.
THE OPENING RUSH
Game begins with each team having three dodge balls. This head referee officially signals the
start of the contest.
TIMING AND WINNING A GAME
The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner. A 3-minute
time limit has been established for each contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the
end of the 3 minutes, the team with the greater number of players remaining will be declared
the winner.
TIE-BREAKER
In the event of a tie, the remaining players from each team will have a 1 minute FACE OFF to
determine the winner.
(Tournament play is double elimination. A team’s failure to report to the court when called will result in immediate
disqualification.)
