More details will be given as soon as we add a link to download fundraiser canvassing sheets from the Canadian Cancer Society. (top of page) Is there a DodgeBall League in London? Yes. Click here for League information.
The winning teams will be presented with medals. There is a prize awarded to the 1st and 2nd place teams and 3rd for Tournaments. These awards will vary from each Tournament and League. We will also have an award for best team uniform/theme and sportsmanship. The current prizes have not been posted but checkout the prizes from our last tournament. Checkout all the Cool the Prizes Here. (top of page) Do
I need to
sign up
early or can I
sign up on game day? Plus you can save yourself up to $100.00 by signing up early. In addition to that we offer cash prizes to those who sign up early. If we have more people than expected we may not be able to guarantee them entry into the game. If we know earlier we can have the right number of courts and officials available. (top of page) What charity is Dodge'N the Cause for? All net proceeds from Dodge'N the Cause will be going towardsthe Canadian Cancer Society. We'll be setting up a commitee in March to help organize this event. If you're interested in helping out with this event click here (top of page) Just remember the 5 D's of DodgeBall. Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge. If you're not comfortable throwing you can pass the ball off to a team member. (top of page) How many games will we be playing? Are we guaranteed a certain number of games? The number of teams participating will determine the number of matches being played. Each match is 12-15 minutes in length. Each team will have at least 4 matches. Those teams that make it into the finals will have additional game play. (top of page) What if
we have
more than
10 (12) people? When you register a 2nd team or refer a team you get $20.00 off your registration. That's a $20.00 savings. Keep in mind when setting up a 2nd team it's best to have at least 8 people. With only 6 you'll have no subs and will tire quickly. Plus not everyone always makes it on game day. If you don't meet the minimum team requirements you will be automatically disqualified without refund. (top of page) Does it hurt
when you get
hit? Even if you’re hit at close proximity there’s very little impact. (top of page) What
sort of
clothes do I
wear? Do I need
protective equipment? Something breathable that you won’t overheat in. Proper footwear is important. A court shoe is ideal. None marking soles are required for all indoor events. We don’t recommend a boot with a deep tread. As for personal protective equipment. A jock or a jill is a nice added feature but is not necessary. Some people like knee or elbow pages. Depends on how hard you’re going to play. (top of page) Each team must have at least 2 people of each sex. This promotes a more open playing environment and encourages more people to play. Besides that we had quite a few girls that really kicked butt!! (top of page) Do I have to
be
in good
shape? No. Being
in good shape may help though.
The nice thing about this game is that people generally don’t play dodgeball regularly so everybody’s skill level will be equal. How
do I find
more out
about dodge
ball? National
Amateur Dodgeball Association Do I need
to
bring
anything else? Drinking
fountains will be accessible.
If you wish to consume any other non-alcoholic beverages or food choices feel free to bring them. Who enforces the
rules?
Two Officials are present on each court. However the primary success of these events is the common practice of good Sportsmanship on the part of each player. (top of page) What sort of volunteer opportunities are available for Dodge'N the Cause? We are in need of the following: Game Officials game day Score Keepers game day Ball Retrievers game day Setup and Teardown game day Event Planning April & May Event Promotion April & May If you would like further details on what these positions require send us an email, click here. (top of page) When do the Leagues run? The Leagues will run for 8 weeks at a time. One in the fall (starts in September). The winter League (starts in January) and the summer (starts in June). (top of page) Do you only do Dodgeball in London? No we are doing a Tournament in Port Stanley in July 2008 and another in Sarnia in November 2008. Currently we are only operating the League in London. If you live in or around Chatham, Windsor, Woodstock, St.Thomas or Goderich and would like to see a Tournament come to your city let us know. click here (top of page) How old do I have to be to play? You must be at least 16 years of age to play. In the future we may host a licensed event. In that event you must be 19 years of age. If you are between 12 and 16 years of age and interested in playing Dodgeball please let us know. We have a database of interested individuals. Once we have over 50 people on that database we will proceed in implementing a youth Dodgeball League or Tournament.
