So I wrote up some rules for Dodge Ball while SNL bored me to death and while I watched AFL this afternoon.
The PDF could probably use a bit of polish but I'm interested in sharing it because I really think it looks fun.
Does anyone know a good site for hosting files so I can get the PDF up here?

Hmmn. I'll give it a look. I wasn't as careful with the teams and things since I didn't change much there.
Thanks for posting it!

| This is so awesome. I'm watching Dodgeball on TV (Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller) and thinking, "wouldn't it be awesome to have a dodgeball game?" :D |

Heh thanks!
I'm glad people liked it. Be sure to let me know if anything needs tweaking and I'll fix it up!

Watched the movie last week and my first thought was: It would be cool to have this game as tableboard one.
And my second:
Oh! DL did one, I have to download it 
Let's check the rules  |

This variation looks good fun. :) I shall look forward to play testing it soon, though I'm not looking forward to playing my friends Dwarves. Might 4 and Skill 3 looks daunting for catching/tagging out.
Can someone clarify if a player can hold more than one ball? What are the options if an opponent tries to tag out a player already holding a ball? May they use Might to try and catch a second or are they forced to try a dodge roll? |

Are these the same rules that were posted in the OSQ?
Do they adhere to the ADAA and all of its By-Laws?
S@#t! My cable doesn't have The Ocho.
I find that Craftsman has the best aerodymanics.

I just tried to re-download the .pdf, but it is generating an adobe error: "Insufficient Data to Display Images" I think your file may be corrupt or truncated. I am getting a mostly pink screen with some images and some ascii characters on one of the lower pages.
I don't think it is my machine as I am currently running bleeding edge maximus computus.
Tried the download twice with the exact same results each time.

I would say forced to Dodge. In the dodge ball games I played you could still be tagged even if you're holding the ball. You could possibly hold more than one ball in RL but I don't wanna make rules for that.

Eric ... if you want to try to recreate and resend me the PDF ... I can rehost it fixed.

TY Darklord, that sounds realistic.
Besides it evens out the Dwarves. Looking forward to sniping the blighters from 20 squares. |
