RULES
LIVE Ball - Any ball thrown at an opponent that does not touch the wall, ceiling, ground or another ball.

The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them 'OUT'. This done by:

1. Throwing and hitting an opposing player with a LIVE ball that strikes the player below the shoulders.
-Any player hit in the face will be allowed to stay in the game, unless the player intentionally dodges the ball so that it
strikes them in the face.
-If a player accidentally ducks into a ball that is thrown below the waist and the ball hits that players face, then they
are considered out.
-The face rule is to protect players from someone aiming at their head. It should NOT be used to bend or cheat
the rules and opposing team.

2. Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent results in the person that threw the ball being OUT.

3. 2 Player Switch - When someone on your team catches a LIVE Ball, one teammate is allowed back on the court.
- To allow fairness, teams should line up on the side line so that players that have not played that game or the first
person that was out during that game be allowed the first back induring a 2 player switch.
- If you catch a LIVE ball, and then get hit, you are out but one of your teammates are allowed back in.

4. Save - If a teammate is hit with a ball and one of their teammates catches the same LIVE ball, the person that is
hit is saved and the person that threw the ball is out.
-NOTE: This will NOT be considered a 2 Player Switch since the catch saves a teammate from being out and get
to stay on the court.

ANYONE WISHING TO PLAY WILL HAVE TO SIGN A LIABILITY WAIVER.
