RULES AND REGULATIONS
Rules:
- All Convenor’s or official’s rulings are final. Abusive language towards the officials or other players will not be tolerated and the individual may be ejected at the Convenor’s discretion, and further suspension will be decided by the Intramural Co-ordinator or Head Convenor.
- A team on the court shall consist of a maximum of ten players with at least three (3) players on the court female. The default number is eight players (including 2 female players) to start the first game in a match; however, teams must have 10 players (including 3 female players) present to start the second game in a match. Defaults will result in automatic loss.
- Matches are 15 minutes. The team with the most players remaining on the floor wins the game. 2 points for each game win, 1 point for a tie in round robin play.
- There will be no overtime. If the teams have an equal number of players left at the end of the 15-minute game, they will then play to a sudden death conclusion – first team to have a player eliminated loses.
- The teams will play elimination Dodgeball. Once a player is eliminated they cannot come back into the game.
- Dodgeballs are not to be thrown above the shoulders. If someone is hit above the shoulders they are not eliminated unless they are in a crouched or prone position.
- If the Dodgeball makes contact with a “dead” surface (walls, ceiling, floor, another Dodgeball) then hits a player they are not eliminated.
- If the Dodgeball makes contact with a player or multiple players and then hits a dead surface, those player(s) are eliminated.
- If a player catches a Dodgeball that is thrown at them, the person that threw it is eliminated. If a thrown ball strikes a player and a teammate then catches the ball before it becomes dead (e.g., ball hits the ground), the hit player is eliminated and so is the thrower.
- Each game will begin with a faceoff. Teams must begin lying on the ground and can only move for the Dodgeballs positioned at centre court once the whistle is blown. Before a player can throw a Dodgeball at the opposing team the ball must touch that player’s far wall/curtain.
- Players/teams are not to cross the centre court line and must stay within their own team’s area. A first infraction will lead to a general warning and subsequent violations will result in players being eliminated from the game.
- A player cannot hold two balls at one time.
- A player has 10 seconds once receiving the ball to get rid of it. They can bounce the ball and have another 10 seconds. If the official at their discretion feels that the player is delaying the game or stalling they can warn that player to throw the ball and or eliminate them.
- Any participants fighting will be a) automatically ejected from the tournament.
