“DODGE, duck, dip, dive and ....dodge,” are five Ds that you must master if you want to be successful in dodgeball.
That
is according to seven-time ADAA (American Dodgeball Association of
America) all-star Patches O’Houlihan in the 2004 comedy movie Dodgeball anyway.
Yaralla Port City Power will host another Dodgeball Classic on November 21 as contestants compete for the $500 prize.
Teams are encouraged to get into the spirit of the fancy dress theme and players must be 13 years or older.
O’Houlihan
said “dodgeball is a sport of violence, exclusion and degradation,” and
suggested picking your larger, stronger friends in your team to help
you pick on the smaller, weaker players.
Competition will commence in Kev Broome Stadium at 12pm and run through till roughly 5pm.
A minimum of six players is needed per team and a bar, barbecue and canteen will operate during the event.
Event organiser Blair Smith said the rules are just like those in the movie.
“The
idea is to throw the ball at the opposition, if you hit them they are
out, if they catch it you are out and one of their team comes back on,”
he said.
“Last player standing wins.”
Entry fee is $50 for a team and registrations close on Friday November 20th.

THE TEAM
Teams will
be made up of 6-10 players. Six(6) players will compete on a side; others will
be available as substitutes. Substitutes may enter the game only during
timeouts or in the case of injury.
THE
FIELD
The game
will be played indoors. The playing
field
shall be a rectangle, divided into two (2) equal sections by a
centre-line
and attack-lines parallel to the centre line. The court size is the size of a
standard volleyball court.
THE
EQUIPMENT
The
official ball used in tournament and league play will be a standard dodgeball
rubber-coated foam ball.
THE GAME
The object
of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them
"OUT". This may be done by:
1. Hitting
an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the
shoulders.
2.
Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the
ground.
Definition:
LIVE: A ball that has been thrown and has not touched
anything,
including the floor/ground, another ball, another player,
official
or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc)
BOUNDARIES
During
play, all players must remain within the boundary lines. Players may leave the
boundaries through their end-line only to retrieve stray balls. They must also
return through their end-line.
THE
OPENING RUSH
Game
begins by placing the dodgeballs along the centre line – three (3) on one side
of the centre hash and three (3) on the other. Players then take a position
behind their end line. Following a signal by the official, teams may approach
the centre line to retrieve the balls. This signal officially starts the
contest. Teams may only retrieve the three (3) balls to their right of the
centre hash. Once a ball is retrieved it must be taken behind the attack-line
before it can be legally thrown.
TIMING
AND WINNING A GAME
The first
team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be
declared
the winner. A 5-minute time limit has been established for
each
contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the end of the 5
minutes,
the team with the greater number of players remaining will
be
declared the winner. If a tie, a sudden-death, first team to
eliminate
an opposing team member, will win the match.
