Six Degrees of Dodgeball

A funny video from that site you can’t help but love: College Humor. Great audio. You’ll see what I mean when the red rubber starts a-flyin’. Found this on Mojo Slam!

The Boston Globe has reported that a group of university students’ 10 second game of dodgeball over the equator in Ecuador will not be accept as a world record.

I just found this on YouTube and I have played against some of these guys. I love when that happens. Click here to watch this dodgeball video story. These teams play in the Toronto Central Sport and Social Club.

This Saturday, pro dodgeball slinger Rob “Hometown” Immel from the New York Epic will be at Mercer Madness Dodgeball Tournament at the Mercer County Skating Rink in West Windsor, to scout out new talent in the hopes of forming New Jersey’s own pro dodgeball team.

Each team will be charged a $100 entry fee and can have a maximum of 10 players. Cash prizes will be awarded!

This Friday, the Coastal Carolina Healthcare Center is sponsoring a dodgeball tournament Friday to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

It’s a great cause and more than 200 people came out last year, raising $1,600.  Hopefully this year will raise even more funds!

I wonder if dodgeball has been banned from their school… these kids need to play some dodgeball, damn!

Happy St. Paddy’s Day, PATCHES O’HOULIHAN!!!

Oh snap! It’s that time of year again!

My favourite dodgeball tournament of the year in Toronto is on again: The Motrin IB my Game my Pain Canadian Beach Dodgeball Championship Series 2008. (Yes it’s a mouthfull, but yes, that’s what corporate sponsorship means, doesn’t it?)

March 29

- Up to $5000 cash purse. Top 8 teams are ‘in the money’.
- Refereed games
- Indoor sand courts and onsite bar, catered food available.

And the best new part about it:

- playoff format for 2008: The single elimination playoff format will be adjusted to make the playoffs more fun for everyone. Top teams will advance to competitive bracket to compete for cash prizes and the remaining teams will advance into the consolation bracket to compete for other great tournament prizes!

Hosted by my league, the Toronto Sport & Social Club, this tourney is like nothing you’ve ever seen! You get to play in the sand, which means extra cardio, and thrilling dives. And yes, sand in places where the sun don’t shine.

My one tip: bring flip-flops. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

This is a great event folks. If you’re into dodgeball, or are even just curious to come out and watch, it’s always a super fun time.

I also noticed there will be a Calgary tourney June 7 and Ottawa June 14, so spread the word!

I believe this league just started up late last year and resides just west of Toronto in the Burlington/Oakville region: Average Joe Sports Club.

They are holding a tournament coming up this weekend, Saturday March 8, 2008.

Registration is also opening soon for the spring season, kicking off April 14.

The site also features some YouTube video clips of one of their dodgeball games, and other sports as well including 3-on-3 basketball.
