GAME RULES/NOTES:
- Players are only allowed to throw Bombardment balls. No kicking or headers are allowed.
- Players are on an "honor system" to admit when they are knocked out. The officials can't possibly see all the action in the early part of a Round.
- Players are knocked out and moved into the "holding cell" whenever a thrown ball from an opponent hits them BELOW the head and bounces to the floor without being caught. A ball may only be thrown at an opponent from a MINIMUM of 5 FEET. There are no "point blank" shots allowed. Players found doing so may be ejected.
- When knocked out, a player must immediately drop (not pass) any balls they currently have and quickly move to the holding cell.
- Whenever a thrown ball is caught by an opponent, the thrower of the ball is knocked out and one player from the receiving team’s holding cell is released.
- Whenever a player hits an opponent in the head with a ball, the thrower of the ball is knocked out. Players MAY NOT intentionally put their head in the line of fire just to penalize the thrower.
- Neither player is knocked out if a thrown ball is blocked/deflected by another ball.
- If a thrower successfully puts a round rubber ball through the opposing team's basket, HALF of the thrower's team will be "freed" from the "holding cell."
- If a thrower successfully puts a foam football through the opposing team's basket, ALL of the thrower’s team will be "freed" from the "holding cell."
- A player may not hold the same ball for more than 10 seconds at a time.
- A player may not step foot beyond the opposing team's free throw line until the "flag ball" has been knocked off of the cone it rests upon.
- After the "flag ball" is knocked off the cone, players may move in to capture it and carry it back to their side of the court to end the Round.
- If a player holding the "flag ball" is hit by an opponent’s ball, the "flag ball" must be immediately dropped (not passed) where the hit was made before quickly moving to the "holding cell."
- A "flag ball" may NOT be touched or moved by members of its own team. It can only be "protected from attack."
- As with all U. High Intramural events, good sportsmanship is expected and enforced. The object of this program is fun and participation, not to injure the opponent.
