Rules & Format: We will be playing 2v2 games with 7 inch foam balls, following the general rules of Dodgeball as set out by the WDBF. The 2v2 format has the following exceptions:

• Each team starts with one ball each, while a third is on the centre line.

• The third ball does not need to be activated to be thrown

• Games last up to 5 minutes (10 minutes for 1st Place Games), with a 1 minute no blocking round if the game has not already been decided. If the round is not decided in that time, the game will end with the current score. In elimination games, no blocking will continue until the point is decided.

• Draws are allowed, except in elimination games.

• Any elimination game that is tied after a no blocking round, will have 1 minute of extra time, followed by another no blocking round until a winner is determined.

• The first team to score 3 points in a game (5 points for finals) will win automatically.

• Men's & Mixed will play on courts 3x18m; Women's will play on courts 3x16m; Intermediate & Junior will play on courts 3x14m *might be slightly less at 13.4m

• Teams may have as many players as they like, but only two may be on the court to start each point. It is suggested that you have a maximum of 3 players on a team, otherwise you may not get much playing time.

• For mixed teams you should have one male-identifying player and one female-identifying player OR one or two Non-Binary players starting each point of the game.

Limited spaces available. Places will be allocated based on when a team signed up, but will not be confirmed until payment is made (you will be contacted about this later). Teams signing up after their division is full will be put on a wait list. The first division(s) to get an additional four teams will be given more spaces in the competition. Entries need to be in by Sunday 9th February at 11:59pm. If payment is not received at this time, you will lose your spot if there is a waitlist. If one division does not have enough teams, we may be able to expand the other divisions.
