ELIMINATION DODGEBALL RULES
Play begins with all players positioned behind their team's end line.
The Rush
The Rush occurs at the beginning of each game or reset.
Upon the official's signal, both teams rush to center court and attempt to retrieve as many balls as possible. A team may rush with as many or as few players as it wants, but at least one person from each team has to Rush. There is no limit to how many balls an individual player may retrieve.
Players may not slide or dive head first into the neutral zone or they will be called out.
Crossing over the neutral zone will result in an "out."
Players may not physically grab and pull another player across the neutral zone or prevent them from returning to their side of the court.
