Dodgeball Rules
- Stepping on or over the half-court line will result in an out - the opening rush has some leniencies
- Rounds end in best out of 3
- If you attempt to block a ball but you lose control of it, you are out
- A thrown ball is live until it touches the ground or wall
- When a ball is caught, the player who threw it is out, and a player on the catching side gets back in - the order of people getting back in is the order of people getting out (i.e., the first person out is the first one back in when a ball is caught)
- You must touch the back wall first when re-entering the game
- A player cannot re-enter the game with a ball in their hands
- When the starting whistle is blown, the balls must brought back to each team's starting wall before being thrown
- Players must all be touching their sides wall before the whistle is blown
- Headshots will be an automatic out for the thrower
