THE FIELD

The playing field shall be a boundary divided into two (2) equal sections by a center boundary line.

THE TEAM

The game shall be played between two teams of 12 maximum with 10 maximum on field at one time. A minimum of 6 players required to play. If your team doesn’t have 10 they can still come play. Substitutes may enter the game only after each round.

BEGINNING THE GAME

Game begins by placing the Dodgeballs along the center line. Players then take a 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.

RUSH RULE

Each and every ball retrieved at the opening rush must first be taken beyond the attack line and into the team’s backcourt before it may be legally thrown at an opponent. This means that the player cannot pick up the ball and immediately throw it at an opponent.

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 thrown ball below the shoulders.

Note: If a player ducks, and this is clearly the cause for the player being hit above the shoulders, the player is out and the throw is legal.

2. Catching a ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.

3. Causing an opponent to drop a live ball as a result of contact by another thrown live ball. (usually occurs when a ball is being used to block a thrown ball.) Example: Player throws it at the opponent and the opponent uses the ball that he is holding to block the throw. If he blocks the ball and holds onto the ball he is holding, it is legal. However, if he drops the ball he is holding, he is OUT.

4. If a player throws the ball and hits his opponent in the head, he is automatically out and cannot return into that round.

5. An opposing player stepping out of bounds. (To avoid getting hit and not because he or she is retrieving a ball - in which case you have 5 seconds to retrieve a ball, and come immediately back into the playing field.)

RETURNING TO THE GAME

The only way that a player can return into the game after he or she is out is by their teammate catching a thrown ball from their opponent or if a teammate that is playing gets hurt.

ENDING THE 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. In the case of an equal number of players remaining after regulation, a 1-minute sudden-death overtime period will be played.

MATCHPLAY

Depending on the number of teams and amount of time, you can play matches of “best-of-three”, “best-of-five”, etc. Substitutes can only come in after each round.

Note: A live ball is a thrown ball that hasn’t touched the ground or any other physical object around the playing field. A player cannot catch a ball bouncing off of a wall or any other object, but he or she can catch one that has bounced off of their teammate.

Note: If one team is holding all the Dodgeballs on the field, then they have to get rid of half of them within 5 seconds.

*Summit Rec. Staff expects all participants to portray a Christ-like attitude during all competitive activities.

*If a problem arises, you must notify the Rec. Staff during the game. If a problem is brought up after the game the problem will not be addressed.
