Rules

The Game

Players line up at the back line. Game begins when the whistle is blown and teams are allowed to run up to the centerline to retrieve balls.
Only ONE foot is allowed over the centerline to retrieve a ball. TWO feet over the line is an out. Throws must occur behind the centerline; one foot over is considered a dead ball.
Players are out if they:

are pegged by a dodgeball on the fly without it being caught
an opponent catches a throw on the fly or off a deflection
they leave the court of play for any reason outside of retrieving a ball
two feet over the centerline
attempt to block a ball with another ball and they drop the defending ball

Players can re-enter the game off a catch by a teammate. Player is considered live and eligible to be hit by opponents immediately upon entering the court.
Headshots and high throws are not tolerated. Teams will be given two warnings for throws deemed above an opponent's standing shoulder level, after which players will be ejected at the referee's discretion. (Note: Throws that strike a player's head while they are crouched or bent over are not considered headshots, and the player struck is considered out).
All calls by the officials are final. Officials have the right to eject players from the gym for poor sportsmanship.
The game is over when all members of a team are eliminated.

The Court

The dimensions for our court areas are as follows:

The court is divided into two 30' X 30' areas, for a total court length of 60' from endline to endline, and a total width of 30' from sideline to sideline.

Approximately 2'-3' is allotted for an out of bound area, allowing officials to move freely along the sidelines.
The Queue for each team is a 3' X 12' area, and should be located 2'-3' from the sideline, leaving enough room for bench players to move free along the sideline.
Every effort will be made to obtain the correct dimensions. However court size may be adjusted to best suit the available space.

Equipment

6 regulation size balls will be used: 6 Blockers (8.5")

Players

Teams consist of 6 active players, with a minimum of 2 female players on the court at the start of a match. No more than 4 male team members are allowed on the court at one time.
All players must wear official Party Dodgeball t-shirt.

Substitutions

Substitutions must be made prior to the start of the game except on playoff night. No substitutions can be made during the course of a game, except in cases of injury.

Matches

A regulation match consists of a pre-determined odd number of games of a single game type. The number of games and/or the time allotted may be altered to best suit time and attendance. (In our case, that means 2 best of 3 matches per team.)

Game Type: Elimination Game

A game played until all opponents on one side have been eliminated. The first team to eliminate all its opponents is declared the winner.
