FAQ's

 

  • Does it hurt? It can - if you are at close range and someone launches a ball - it can sting for a moment. The DodgeBall are designed for this type of play (foam covered by semi solid cover) so the "pain" is minimal.
  • What if a team member drops off? If you have a sub - then use them. If you have an alternate or someone is here - you can use them PROVIDED they are not registered on another team. Even if the team has been eliminated.
  • Do you have divisions? we now have 3 divisions. with no High School players allowed in division 3
  • How much does it cost? $30 per team per night. If you have 5 or 8 members they divide up the $30 evenly. The price is a TEAM fee.
  • What do the winners get? Winners get free entry to next week and Hab Custom Dodgeball shirts!
  • How do I register a team? Either use the link above or go here. You can also register when you come in.
  • How many teams do you take? We take a maximum of 30 teams per night.
  • What is the age limit? There is no upper age limit, but lower age limit is restricted to 10 years old.
  • How often do you run these tournaments? We run them every Friday night.
  • Do you allow "head shots"? We don't encourage them, but these balls are virtually impossible to aim, so if a face or head shot occurs it is usually unintended. If we see someone trying to intentionally hit them in the face or head - then we will take immediate action.
  • Do I have to sign up ahead of time? No - you can do it Friday Night but you must be signed up by 6 PM.
