Governing Body 

The City of Richardson is the governing body for the event: 

Teams may play with less then 6 players as long as they abide by the gender distribution. Ex. 2 males, 2 females 

Games will be played on an indoor court at least 50 ft. long and at least 30 ft. wide, divided into 2 equal sections by a center line 

– During play all players must remain within the boundary lines. Each team will provide ONE designated ball shagger to retrieve balls. Players who step out of bounds to avoid being hit will be called out. 

– An official match will be determined by the team that wins 2 out of 3 games 

– The ball used in tournament play will be the Mikasa Official Dodgeball 

– Game will begin when the whistle blows, each team will start with 3 balls in their possession behind the end line. Once the whistle blows all players will step in bounds then all balls will be live

– Each team is allowed 1 timeout per game

Object of 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 any where on their body, below the shoulders.

– Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground

NOTE: All thrown balls will remain LIVE until they hit the ground or a wall. 

Examples – 

– If a ball is thrown and does not touch the ground before being touched by 3 players, all 3 players would be declared out if the ball subsequently hits the ground. The same goes for a situation in which a ball is thrown contacts 2 – 3 different people and then is caught by one of them. The person who threw the ball would be declared out

– On the initial contact, if a person is hit above the shoulders, the player who threw the ball, plus one more player (to be determined by the team captain) will be deemed out. If a player is hit above the shoulders off a deflection, the person who threw the ball is not out

Timing 

– The first time to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner. 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

– If at the end of regulation a winner can not be determined as both teams have an equal amount of players remaining a 1 minute overtime period will start and the center line will be taken out of play once the balls have been retrieved.

– If after the 1 minute overtime period a winner still can not be determined the game winner will be determined by a coin flip

In order to reduce stalling, a team player may be declared “Out” if that team is in the lead and controls all balls on their side of the court for more then 10 seconds. This penalty can also be called if both teams have the same number of players. The Event Coordinator or Court Monitor will pick the player to be removed and will make the decision as to whether or not to enforce the penalty. 

Rule enforcement will be enforced by the Event Coordinator or the Court Monitor. All participants are expected to leave the playing surface as soon as they are hit or a ball they have thrown has been caught.

Forfeit 

– Game time is forfeit time. Official time will be the Event Coordintor’s time keeping device.

– Teams forfeiting a winner’s brakcet game will be placed in the loser’s bracket.

– If a team concedes or has started and ceases to play during an event, all piror wins or losses will still stand and any points earned will be awarded.
