Cannonball with a twist. BFD.
If a player goes to 'jail' and can be broken out again, how does this "speed up" the play? Since in traditional dodge ball one side wins when all of the other side have been put "out," letting players rejoin their team would in my estimation prolong the game, not shorten it.
Hopefully, journalism 101 is part of Accuracy Academia's curriculum.
So?
I went to high school in the mid to late 80s. Whenever we were rained out of a scheduled outdoor activity, the gym teachers would set up a “prison escape” game. We would all be on top of the bleachers with two of the gym teachers in their “sniper towers” with baskets of dodge balls. The third teacher would use a spot light and swing it back and forth across the mats. We had tunnels and mats set up to cross the gym floor to the stage on the other side of the gym. (If you made it onto the stage, you are safe.)
If you were hit with a dodgeball or lit up with the spot light (we had most of the lights out in the gym) you were out. You were also out if you touched the raw gym floor off of the mats. Those who made it to safety would run it again in the next phase. It was rocking!
... you could have one game last a whole gym period.
It’s really not “prison ball” anymore since the wussies on the school board made them stop the part where you could drag your opponent into the showers and gang rape them.
Prison ball is what I played as a kid.
The rule “No Bean Balls!”. Got into a fight over that.
We’d pump the basketballs up until they were so hard they’d ping when you bounced them. Those bean balls hurt!
