Game Overview - Throwing

1. Balls are thrown at opponent Dodgers in an attempt to hit them anywhere except the hands and send them Out.
2. Only Dodgers still In Play (not yet Out) may throw a ball and send an opponent Out.
3. A ball may be thrown overhand (like a baseball).
4. A ball may be thrown underhand (like a softball pitch).
5. A ball may be thrown with one hand.
6. A ball may be thrown with two hands (like a basketball push pass).
7. Tossing the ball up and slapping it (like a volleyball spike is not allowed). This is not a penalty, however the ball is Dead the moment the second hand strikes the ball.
8. A throw is said to start the moment it leaves the throwing skater's hand(s). It then travels though the air for some period of time. The throw ends the moment the ball makes contact with the floor, ceiling, another ball, or any person or other object.
9. If the first thing a ball hits is not an opponent Dodger, then as soon as it makes contact with someone or something it is Dead and cannot send a Dodger Out until thrown again.
10. While throwing, if a skater steps out of Bounds BEFORE the ball leaves his hands then the ball is dead immediately. Additionally, the skater receives an Out of Bounds Penalty as normal.
11. While throwing, if a skater steps out of Bounds AFTER the ball leaves his hands then the throw is GOOD. However, the skater still receives an Out of Bounds Penalty.
12. A ball that is caught by a Dodger (in play) may be thrown back immediately.
