How We Play Dodgeball
How we get our dodge on!
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE
All Players are reminded that in any dodgeball league you are on the honor system and when hit by a ball are expected to go out of the game. This is a SUPER rec league, and although dodgeball can get competitive, we expect all players to be honest and fair about playing. Cheating to win is VERY LAME. It’s not possible for the ref to catch every single thing in these games, especially determining if you got hit. If the referee sees someone get hit and remain in the game, that team will receive a warning. If it happens again that a player on the same team does not go out after being hit by the ball then they will automatically forfeit that game. If it continues to happen you will forfeit the match.
Basic Info
Teams must have at least 4 players with at least 1 of each gender to avoid forfeit. Each team member must have signed the waiver before the season begins. If a team is found out to be playing with a player who has not signed the waiver, the team will forfeit all of the games during which this player participated.
A maximum of 8 players per team may take the court at the beginning of each game. A normal full team on the court is 5 guys and 3 girls. Teams may have no more than 5 guys on the court at one time. If a team is short on players, they may recruit subs prior to the match THAT ARE NOT RINGERS AND WHO MUST SIGN THE WAIVER BEFORE PLAYING. A team may only brings subs or pick up players if they are below the 8 needed to play.
How We Play

5. If a ball rolls outside the court, players from your team may kick the ball back in play from your side only, but active players may not leave the court to get a ball. You MAY NOT step onto the court to kick a ball back.
b. If you cross the center line while throwing your throw will not count unless caught.
c. You cannot jump over the center line to throw the ball at someone. If you do, you’re out and the throw does not count unless caught.
d. If you cross and touch the other side of the center line to retrieve a ball from the other side then the ball must be returned to the back wall of the opposing side.
a. ARE VERY BAD.
f. Players may not intentionally initiate head contact with a ball in order to have the thrower called out. If a player is found to intentionally initiate head contact with a ball, they will be ejected.

Standings & Playoffs
The reason for the harshness of this is because we want all teams to be able to play. If your team is a no-show, then the other team also doesn’t get to play, and that’s not cool. So just get subs or at least let us know if you’re not going to make it!
If you know in advance that your team will be forfeiting a match, you are required to email us at teams@s3leagues.com so we can let your opponent know that you won’t be showing up.
