Opposing player catches your LIVE thrown ball before it touches the
floor.
Step over the centerline.
Attempt to block opposing player’s ball and drop their defending
ball.
Step out of the court boundary lines when not retrieving a ball.
*If you catch an opposing team’s ball, you may choose someone from
your team to re-enter the court.

Definition::
|
LIVE: A ball that has been
thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor/ground,
another ball, another player, official or other items outside
the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc.)
BOUNDARIES: During play, all players must remain within the
boundaries lines. Player may leave the boundaries through their
end line only to retrieve stray ball. They must also return
through their end line. Note: Players not in the playing area
are not allowed to touch any ball that has rolled out of the
boundary lines.
THE OPENING RUSH: Game begins by placing 6 dodgeballs along the
centerline. Players then take a position behind their end line.
Following signal by the official, teams may approach the
centerline to retrieve the balls. The signal officially starts
the contest. Once a ball is retrieved, it must be taken behind
the blue attack line before it can be legally thrown.
TIMING AND WINNING A GAME: The first team to legally eliminate
all opposing player will be declared the winner. A 10-minute
limit has been established for each contest, and a match will
consist of best 3 out of 5 games. If neither team has been
eliminated at the end of 10 minutes, the team with greater
number of players 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 with three (3)
player and two (2) dodgeballs. If less than three (3) players
were standing at the end of regulations, players must be added.
With each overtime period, an extra player will be added to each
team until the maximum of six (6) is reached.
5-SECOND VIOLATION: In order to reduce stalling, a violation
will be called by the court monitor if a team controls all six
balls on their side of the court for more that 5 seconds.
RULE ENFORCEMENT: Rules will be enforced primarily by the “honor
system”. Players will be expected to rule whether or not a hit
was legal or whether they were legally eliminated. A court
monitor will supervise all contests. The court monitor
responsibility will be to rule on any situation in which teams
cannot agree. THE COURT MONITOR DECISION IS FINAL – NO
EXCEPTIONS.
Blood Policy:
The following steps must be taken for any player that is
bleeding during a game.
Bleeding must be stopped.
Open wounds must be covered.
Clothes that have gotten blood on them must be changed.
Teams must supply their own first aid supplies.
