Instructions

- 2 Teams go head to head from either sides of a room/hall.
- 3 to 5 dodgeballs are placed in the middle of the hall.
- You must throw the ball from your side and hit your opponents on the opposite side of the hall.
- If you are hit then you are out the game.
- If you throw a ball and your opponent catches the ball without it bouncing off the ground first, then you are out and they gain back one of their team mates who have already been put out the game.

The room is split into 3 Segments. (2 x Ends of the hall + 1 x Middle Zone)
Team 1 can only throw from segment 1 (Their end of the hall) but can pick up a ball in segment 1 and 2
Team 2 can only throw from segment 3 (Their end of the hall) but can pick up a ball in segment 2 and 3
If you are hit when picking up a ball you are out.

Changes you can make to the game:
- Add a small ball that allows you to hit someone and automatically get a team mate who has been put out, back in the game.
- Add a no bounce rule where if the ball bounces off the ground before it hits an opponent then they are still in the game.
