What is Dodgeball?

In dodgeball, two teams compete against one other to throw and hit opponents while avoiding getting hit themselves. So all players on opposing teams must be eliminated. You can eliminate by either hitting them with thrown balls, intercepting an opponent’s ball, or persuading an opponent to break the rules, such as leaving the court.
