Anyone who is able to get to the venues for the games in eligible to participate. Some divisions have restrictions on who can enter based on gender or age, but everyone is welcome to enter the Open division and everyone should qualify for at least one other division (if not 3 or 4)

If you are eligible to play in multiple divisions, then you can play on multiple teams. However, you are only eligible to play for one team per division. This excludes instances where a team may need to have a replacement player on the day. Please see our substitution policy for clarification.

Most games will be played 6v6, though if necessary, we may drop that down to as low as 4v4 if it helps us field more teams. There is no limit to the number of players who are on your team, however, it is recommended to limit the number to 8 or 9 for any specific game, otherwise playing time may not be as high as players like.

If you don't have a team, you can sign up as an individual. However, we cannot guarantee we will be able to form a team for you and we cannot guarantee you will be paired with experienced players. We will ask teams that register if they would consider taking on more players, but they are not obligated to. If registered teams fill all the spaces, we may not be able to take on any individuals.

In order to grow the sport of Dodgeball, we want to transition people into thinking about it as an individual sport into a team sport. By playing with the same team throughout the year, we want to encourage your team to work on improving as a team and developing cohesion and your own strategies. This also allows teams who want to play together for events like Nationals (April) and API (September) to prepare for those tournaments.

We have multiple days an venues for this exact scenario. When you register your team, you will be asked which venues/times you prefer. There will also be the chance to give us any other information that will help us schedule all the games. We will do our best to make sure that everyone has games on days and times that they can attend, however, it cannot be guaranteed that all your games will be on the same day/time and at the same venue, as we will be trying to create the fairest schedule possible for everyone.

Let us know as soon as you can. There are several possibilities, depending on the number of teams in a division. We may be able to reschedule matches and move them around to suit individual team needs.  This could mean scheduling the match earlier or later on the same day, or moving it to another day in the same week. Alternatively we could schedule a makeup match in the match day before or after (so a month earlier or later). We will work with you and the team that you are scheduled to play to come up with the best solution possible.

It is recommended that teams enter more than the minimum number of players so that if a player cannot make a specific date, the rest of the team will be present.

Of course. We're trying to grow competitive dodgeball in Auckland and in New Zealand, not punish people for finding out about things too late. We will allow any signups as long as playoffs have not begun in that division (those dates will be posted later) and charge a reduced fee for the remaining games.

There is also the possibility, if you register early enough, that we can make up any potential matchups with other teams by playing two matches on a match day. We will discuss options with any team that signs up after the first entry deadline.
