  • All Dodgeball Leagues use a weekly time slot of 1.00 hour.

    • A match consists of as many games that can be completed in the 50 minutes of playing time. No single game can exceed 5 minutes.
    • A game is won when one team eliminates all of the opposing players on the court. Each game is worth one point.
    • The team with the most games won during the time slot wins the match.

  • Prior to the first game of the season, teams must have 6 players confirmed on the roster in MyCSSC. This number is equal to the total number of players required on the court in the above chart.
    • If the minimum amount of confirmed roster players is not met, the team will receive a loss for every game played until the requirement is met.
    • Minimum female requirements are inclusive of anyone who identifies as female (i.e. players who identify as M or X do not count towards F minimums).
  • Prior to the first playoff game, teams must have all players who are playing in the playoff game(s) displayed as part of the confirmed roster in MyCSSC.
