DODGEBALL (COMPLEX)

TWO vs. TWO 

Equipment:

  • 6 Red solo cups (3 for each team)
  • 2 Ping pong balls

Rules:

  • Set up each side of a table with 3 cups in the shape of a triangle half filled with water (shown below).
  • Once the game is set up, figure out a team to go first!
  • The object of the game is to sink your balls in the other team’s cups.
  • Each team will take turns throwing both balls (one per teammate). When and if a ball hits the rim of a cup and bounces upwards, the team that is not shooting can then hit that ball up in the air for their partner to smack it at the team shooting.
  • If it hits the team shooting, they lose a cup. If they catch the ball that’s being smacked at them, the team smacking the ball loses a cup.
  • No bounce shots allowed.
  • If two balls are sunk in separate cups on the same turn, the shooting team gets the balls back.
  • If both balls are sunk in the same cup, pick a second cup to be eliminated and get the balls back. 
  • No blowing the ball if it is spinning around in the cup.
  • Redemption (when the opposing team sinks their ball in your last cup) you then get a chance to stay in the game by sinking all their remaining cups with the balls. You and your partner get to keep shooting until you miss. If you manage to sink the remaining cups, the game goes to a 1 cup vs 1 cup.
  • Continue playing until someone sinks the last cup again and then play redemption until one team can not redeem themselves!
  • The team that can not get their redemption loses.

 

Additional drinking rules (if drinking):

  • Instead of putting water into the cups. Put your drink into them and drink it after it gets sunk!

 

This is how it looks to start the game!
