Tournament Rules:

(View the rules in a Google Document HERE)

  1. Each game is 3 minutes long.
  2. The team with the most players remaining on the court after 3 minutes is declared the winner.
    One-minute, sudden death overtime will be played in games that end in a tie after the 3 minutes of regular play.
  3. The tournament is double elimination, meaning a team is out after two losses.
    If an undefeated team loses in the championship game, a second championship game will be played since that will be their first loss.
  4. Players are out if 1) they are hit by a ball thrown by the other team before it bounces on the ground.
    2) they cross the mid-court line while throwing or retrieving a ball.
  5. If a player catches a ball, they are NOT out, nor is the player who threw the ball. (*this is a change to accommodate the fast pace of these games.)
  6. Once a referee sees a player get hit, they will blow their whistle and point to the player who is out. That player must leave the court immediately. NO ARGUING!!
  7. Once a player is out, they CANNOT re-enter the game. If a player is caught trying to re-enter a game, their team will forfeit that game.
  8. Players must aim their throws at the chest and below.
    If a referee feels a player is aiming their throws at their opponents head, they will be removed from the game immediately.
  9. Teams will be announced prior to their match. They must come to the waiting area when called or risk forfeiting their game.
