| Bagball Rules
Bagball is on Wednesday 26th at 8pm.
Bagball Rules:
Each game pits two teams of 3 members each against each other. Both teams start on opposite sides of the bagball field near their respective goals. The bagball is placed in the center of the field, and a referee stands nearby. The referee counts “one,” “two,” “three.” On “three” play begins and all participants race toward the center in an attempt to be the first to control the bagball.
Players grab and drag the bagball around the field as they attempt to throw the bag into opposition’s goal. The team that doesn’t have control of the bagball may attempt to grab and gain control of it at any point.
The referee will signal goals, the end of the first half, and the end of the game. Most bagball games typically are split into two 10 to 20 minute halves with a 3 to 5 minute interval at halftime. The referee will also signal the end of the game and declare the winning team.
At the end of the match, the team with the most goals wins the match. In the event of scores being tied at the end of the game, a Golden Goal situation will occur, resulting in the next team to score being named the winner.
Moving the bagball: The primary method is: stand next to it, lift it, drop it on the other side of you, and run past it to repeat the “lift, drop, move” process.
The bagball should only be passed by placing it on the ground for another player (on either team) to grab.
Scoring a goal: This is a two part process: the bagball must first be thrown onto the opposition’s goal line and then into the goal itself. No goal will count as official until the referee announces it as such.
After each goal, the bagball is returned to the center of the field and each team moves to their own starting positions. Play resumes at the signal of the referee. The team that scores the goal receives 1 point.
The team that scores the most points by the end of the game wins. Optionally, the team that first scores 5 points is declared the winner.
All decisions of the referee are final.
Criminal behavior: No player at any time should be flagged a criminal for any reason. Bagball may be a competitive sport but it is based purely on playing skill alone.
Attacks: Any participant that attacks any opposing team member or spectator will disqualify her whole team, and the opposing team will win the game by default.
Outside interference: Interference from spectators is not allowed, and any such interference may compel the referee to stop the game.
