ABOUT THIS TOURNAMENT
Inspired by our friends at WeHo Dodgeball, we’re excited to remind everyone that dodgeball is about more than just competition—it’s also about having fun and embracing the goofy side of the game. Life’s too short to always focus on winning; sometimes, it’s just about dressing up, getting into costume, and enjoying the sport we all love. Our annual Halloween tournament is the perfect opportunity to meet new people, showcase your creativity through costumes, and, of course, play some dodgeball!
This tournament will be Bring Your Own Team (BYOT), featuring 7-inch rubber No-Sting balls. We’ll be using our Minnesota Dodgeball ruleset, which is inspired by USA Dodgeball guidelines but with a few unique variations.
