injury.
THERE WILL BE 2 DIFFERENT CATEGORIES – MEN (OPEN) AND LADIES (OPEN)
EACH TEAM IS ALLOWED TO HAVE A MAXIMUM OF ONE (1) PERSON ABOVE THE AGE OF 25.
THE FIELD
The game will be played indoors, on the tennis courts, or wherever deem fit by the organizers. The playing
field boundary shall be determined based on the final number of teams participating and will be made
known at a later time. It shall be divided into two (2) equal sections by a center boundary line.
THE EQUIPMENT
The official ball used in tournament and league play will be a 5" rubber-coated ball. Participants must wear
shoes, shirts and pants/shorts.
THE GAME
The objective 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 thrown ball at him/her. For safety reasons, players should always
aim below the shoulders. (Note: If a player ducks and this is clearly the cause for the player being hit
Event Organiser: Penang Youthwave
Event Coordinator: Gateway Sports Network
2
above the shoulders, the player is out and the throw is legal)
2. Catching a ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.
3. Causing an opponent to drop a live ball as a result of contact by another thrown live ball (Usually
occurs when a ball is being used to block a thrown ball.)
4. An opposing player stepping out of bounds. (To avoid getting hit and not because he or she is
retrieving a ball – in which case you have 5 seconds to retrieve a ball, and come immediately back
into the playing field.)
Game begins by placing the dodgeballs along the center line. Players then take a position behind their end
line. Following a signal by the official, teams may approach the centerline to retrieve the balls. This signal
officially starts the contest.
Rush Rule:
Each and every ball retrieved at the opening rush must first be taken beyond the attack line before it may
be legally thrown at an opponent.
The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner. A 7-minute time limit has
been established for each contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the end of the 7 minutes, the
team with the greater number of players remaining will be declared the winner.
TIME-OUTS & SUBSTITUTIONS
Each team will be allowed one (1) 30 second timeout per game. At this time a team may substitute players
into the game.
RULE ENFORCEMENT
Rules will be enforced primarily by the "honor system". Players will be expected to rule whether or not a hit
was legal or whether they were legally eliminated. All contests will be supervised by a field monitor. The field
monitor’s responsibility will be to rule on any situation in which teams cannot agree. THE FIELD MONITOR’S
DECISION IS FINAL – NO EXCEPTIONS.
BOUNDARIES
1. During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines.
2. Players must only leave from the end line to retrieve balls and must return to the court by the end
lines.
3. During play, all players must remain in the boundary lines.
4. A player may be handed a ball, provided the player receiving the ball remains completely within
their teams’ field boundaries.
5. A player shall not:
a) Have any part of their body contact the playing surface on or over the sideline.
b) Enter or re-enter the field through their sidelines.
c) Leave the playing field to avoid being hit.
d) Have any part of their body cross the center line and contact ground on their opponents’ side of
the court.
Penalty: Player will be declared out
Note: A player not immediately re-entering the playing area may be declared out.
MATCH PLAY
Matches will be decided using a "best-of-three" format in which the first team to win two (2) games will be
declared the winner. In the case of an equal number of players remaining in the tie-breaker, the game will
be declared a “draw”. However if this is the case in the elimination round, a 3-minute sudden-death
overtime period will be played.
