Braintree
 

Let's do this again!

We had so much fun the first time around, we figured we'd have another go. We've made some adjustments for this next iteration that should eliminate the issues we saw last time:

  • We'll be weighing all dodgeballs to be sure that no one uses the recently outlawed lead core model 'super-atomic-destructo-ball™' by Blammo
  • Braintree promises to not use oil slicks, turtle shells, giant bullets, or any other comptetivie mechanism derived from Mario Cart this time
  • We'll restrict our urge to order enough pizza to feed most of the North side

Rules of Engagement

We were originally going to fashion the tournament as a hybrid dodgeball / authentic Roman gladiator event, with lions, dangerous weapons, unruly spectators, and Russell Crowe. Since Russell Crowe won't return our calls, we'll just be playing dodgeball.

Check out the official rulebook.

  • Teams will be limited to 10 players on the floor at once, with no limit on the number of substitutions available
  • All team members must be an employee of a participating organization
  • Each match will last 5 minutes

Registration

There is a $500 registration fee per team. The winning team will receive a gift certificate redemable for cotton candy and ponies get to loan out the proceeds on Kiva. When loans are repaid, the money will be donated to Kiva
