As a relatively adept proponent of caught dodge ball outs (back in the day [in sixth grade gym], I was the only one left on my team against 10+ opposing players. I kept rolling back dodge balls across the line and let them throw at me until I caught enough to take them all down - greatest dodge ball comeback ever!), I question the inclusion of the "no caught ball outs" rule. I understand the "caught balls do not return players to the field" rule (matches would take a lot longer to decide), but yeah. What is the rationalization behind this rule? I demand an explanation!!!!! :p
I'd presume, at the very least, that catching a ball does not count as a hit, and the player is still in the game. What say the IADI? :rolleyes:

At the past dodgeball event we held, we found the caught ball rule to be not used in the right way. But, that was like 20 vs 20 dodgeball. I am considering revoking that rule and letting the caught ball bring one player back in. If we do that, there will be a line t he people who get out will go into, then if a ball is caught they go back into the game in the order that they came out.
The safety glasses rule, one that I have played back and forth on. I have found them to cause more pain then they are worth. I have been nailed in the eye by a POOF ball quite a few times in the 45 vs 45T matches we had during build season. It hurt more when I got hit with them on, I believe someone else in this thread also pointed that out. The safety glasses are optional though, just be award that they may cause an extra sting when hit. |
