Hi Everyone, we’re going to make some changes and focus on a couple things when dodgeball starts up again in April.
I’m doing this to keep Tokyo Dodgeball as fun and welcoming as possible, to encourage better sportsmanship and keep the courts balanced.
𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙤𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙙. No more beginner and advanced courts. We will try to switch teams and courts a couple times during the event to make sure things are balanced. Dodgeball used to always be mixed and it was a much better experience then.
𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙊𝙪𝙩. Play fair and go out when you are hit, and accept that being out is part of the game. Use this opportunity to talk to other people in the out line.
𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙨𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚. For example, you want to switch to play with some friends. Constant switching unbalances the number of players and gives you more playing time at the expense of others.
𝘼𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤 𝙨𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙. This is an old rule that sometimes isn’t followed. See above, when you are out you need to Take Your Out, not jump into another game and keep playing. Tell me if you see anyone doing this.
𝘽𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝. This is meant for regular players or new players who play aggressively. I know it’s difficult, and we all want to play our best at all times, but I think you’re a better person if you go easy on new people. Try to be aware of situations and let them have fun and stay in the game if possible. Again, this is a tough guideline to follow but I’ll appreciate it if you do.
And that’s it! Thank you for reading this far, if you want to read more about why I’m making these changes I have over 2000 words written for you.
As always if you have any questions or ideas please write or talk to me, I’m not afraid to change or admit if I’m wrong (which never happens).
