Game Play

• Teams should start each game with eight players on the court; a minimum of two of each gender. A minimum of one of each gender must start each game to avoid forfeit. If only one of either gender is available then the team shall start with seven players.
• Teams shall play as many games in the allotted hour as possible, but no game shall begin past the 50-minute mark. The games shall collectively make up the match.
• During the regular season team captains may ask players from other teams to fill in on game day to avoid forfeit. In the playoffs, a player can only participate and play for one team.  If a player is found playing on two or more teams in the playoffs all games are subject to forfeit.

Objective

Eliminate all opposing players by getting them "out." The following results in an "out:"

• A player hits an opponent with a thrown ball, before it hits the ground and below the shoulders 
• A player catches an opponent's thrown ball before it makes contact with the ground or walls
• A player crosses a boundary line or the center line. 

Rules

• Games will be played on a standard sized basketball or volleyball court.
• 6 balls will be used. The official will place the balls on the centerline. Players must start while touching the back wall before the start of play.
• Anyone can possess and throw any of the six balls that are in play. 
• Teams and players are confined to the centerline, sidelines and end line of the court area.
• If a player goes out of bounds to avoid getting out, they will be called out.
• The centerline is the offside line. When throwing the ball, a player must not touch the line when throwing (and including follow through).
• Players will be called out if a thrown ball, not a kicked ball, hits them on the fly.
• If a player unintentionally or intentionally throws a ball and the ball hits an opposing player in the head the player who threw the ball is out. If a player ducks or is on the ground and is hit in the head, the player hit will be called out. Balls must be thrown below the shoulders.
• Players will be called out if a ball they throw is caught on the fly.
• Deflections off the floor or the official do not count as an out if caught. Deflections off of a wall, court dividers, rafters, bleachers, and hoop do not count as an out if caught. 
• Deflections off of a player that then hit the wall result in the defending player out regardless if the ball is caught or not. The ball is dead as if it hit the floor once it hits the wall.
• If a ball hits another ball held by a player, it does not make either player out. If the ball is dropped as a result of contact from the thrown ball, then the player who drops the ball is out. If a player partially blocks a thrown ball and the ball makes contact with the person's body, he/she is out.
• If a player catches an opponent's ball, the first teammate to go out will then be allowed to come back into the game. If a team has started with extra players on the sideline (meaning they are playing with more than 8 total players), they may not bring someone in for a catch if they are at full strength. Catches may not be "saved" until someone on their team gets out in this instance.
• If a player is stalling, or making no attempt to play a ball they may be called out (ten seconds). At his or her discretion, the referee may provide a five second warning call to a player prior to calling them out. 
• Once a player is out, they must immediately leave the floor, raise their hand to show that they are out, and go to sideline. Players who have been called out may retrieve stray balls out-of-bounds for their teammates.

Rules Enforcement:

• Each game will be played under the honor system. A player who knows he/she is out should raise his/her hand and go to the sideline.
• The referee's ruling is final.
• Be responsible for your actions and maintain self control.
• Do not taunt or bait opponents. Refrain from using foul language
• If a team receives a forfeit during the regular season it will be scored 7-0
• During the regular season it is ok for team captains  to ask players from other teams to “Sub or Fill In” open slots on game day, to avoid forfeit. In the playoffs, a player can only participate and play for one team.  If a player is found playing on two or more teams in the playoffs all games are subject to forfeit.
