Single "Game" Elimination Scoring:
During the First round all teams will play one 20min game divided into two 10 min halfs with a
3 min break. Keep in mind that the score from the 1st half will carry over to the 2nd half.
The team who scores the most points at the end of the 2nd half will win the game and advance to
the next round.
During the 2nd half, if the time runs out and both teams are tied we go into "Sudden Death".
Sudden Death is when time runs out but the teams continue to play until someone scores. First
team that scores after the clock runs out wins the game and advances to the next round.
During the Semi Final and Final rounds the teams will play best two out of three. Match 1&2
will be 10 minutes each. If a 3rd match is necessary, the teams will play 7 minutes for the win.
Equipment: Both sides of the court will have an orange cone with a whiffle ball on top of it and two small dodgeballs.
The key to
winning a match point is to either knock the whiffle ball off of the cone or eliminate all players on the
opposing team.
Game Rules
~Players on a team will attempt to protect the cone without getting hit with the Dodgeball.
~If a you catch the ball at anytime during the game, the person who threw the ballis out and one
player
on your team can re-enter the game. PLAYERS CAN ONLY RE ENTER THE GAME IN THE
ORDER IN WHICH THEY WERE TAKEN OUT. In other words you are not allowed to choose
who goes back in the game. If a player re-enter out of turn then the team is DISQUALIFIED and
they lose the match point.
~If a player gets hit with the ball directly and does not catch it, the player is out. They have 5
seconds to exit the court and stand on the sideline. The referee will count five seconds and if the
eliminated player is still on the court, THE ENTIRE TEAM IS DISQUALIFIED and will lose the
match point.
~If a player gets hit and the ball bounces off of their body and hits another player then falls on the
ground, BOTH players are out.
~If the ball hits the ground before hitting the player, the player is SAFE.
~If the ball hits a player, bounces off of their body and another player catches that same ball, that
player was SAVED the person who threw it is OUT and the next person standing on the sideline
can re-enter the game in the order in which they were taken out. AGAIN, if a player re-enters the
game OUT OF TURN the ENTIRE TEAM is DISQUALIFIED.
~~THERE WILL ABSOLUTELY BE NO ARGUEING CALLS.~~
~If the Ref makes a bad call just suck it up and stand on the side line.
~If a call is argued the Ref can disqualify the entire team and the match point will go the opposing
team.
~Understand that this fast paced game and the refs will probably miss some calls.
~The team coaches are the only ones allowed to bring any bad calls to the ref's attention but
DO NOT harp on it. Just shrug it off, stay focused on coaching your team.
Finals: Each match in the Finals will be 10min long. If your team advances to the finals they will
have to win 2 out of 3 matches in order to be the Tournament Champions. Again, if a 3rd match is
