A match in Extreme Dodgeball is 4 6-minute quarters. For a more in-depth look at the rules, check this out.Bad news first. If you get hit by a ball, someone catches your throw, or you step on or over the center line, you're out. If a ball hits you and a teammate, you're both out. You can use a ball for defense, but if it gets knocked out of your hand by another ball, you're out. If your team hold two balls for more than 5 seconds, the ref can give you a yellow card; keep it moving. Here's the good news: if a ball hits the floor or a wall, it's dead. Head shots don't count. Every time your team catches a ball, one of your out players gets to come back in the game. There is no out-of-bounds, so feel free to walk up and down the walls. There are 7 players on a team, but only 5 can be on the court at one time. When your team gets down to one player, that Last Man Standing will have 30 seconds to try and survive. If he makes it the full 30, one more player comes back in. If a team gets wiped out completely, it will regenerate from the bench, but with only 4 players. A team gets 1 point for a kill, 1 point for a catch, and 1 bonus point for a wipeout.1st Quarter: two small balls are used. 2nd Quarter: two small balls and one big ball are used. A kill with the big ball is worth 2 points. 3rd Quarter: Teams switch sides, two small balls are used. 4th Quarter: Dead Man Walking. Each team must always have a Dead Man Walking out on the court, designated by an orange headband. If the Dead Man is killed, it's 2 points for the other team, and then the headband is passed off to someone else. Two small balls are used.After the 4th quarter, the team with the most points wins the match and $5,000. Extreme Dodgeball season 3 can be seen Tuesdays at 10:00 P.M. with reruns on Thursday at 11:00 P.M. and Sunday at 1:00 A.M. That's it.
