- Every team will play in the round robin and will be guaranteed a placement in the knockout round, if time permits. Placement in playoffs is dependent upon how many teams are playing.
- A team’s ranking in the knockout round will be based on the team’s results during round robin play.
- During each game, there are at least 2 referees, Referees decision is final
- There are 8 balls, split into 2 even groups near the ends of the center line. During the opening rush (when the game starts), you may only grab the balls designated to your side.
- You are out go to the designated referee for your side.
- A thrown live ball can only hit out 1 player. Thrown balls that hit the ground, the wall, other balls, or other objects before hitting the opponent are considered dead balls, and are ineligible to hit players out.
- You may block a thrown ball with a held ball. Deflections do not count as an out
- If you are out, line up on the side in the order you got out (think of it as being in an “resurrection” line). If your teammate catches a ball, the player at the start of your team’s “resurrection” line comes back into play after touching the wall (the teammate must be in the line at the time of the catch to be eligible to be brought back in).
- You can only hold a ball for 10 seconds, afterwards, it will be considered dead. Dead balls need to be rolled over immediately to the other teams
- At the 5 minute mark of any game the middle line will disappear and you will be able to anywhere on the court. You must throw and hit the opposing player(s) with a ball at this time, tagging them is not considered an out.
- Have fun, smile, make friends and be spirited!
