okay, here's the game. It's pretty much dodgeball, but with some different rules and playing styles. Here's what you need
1-Tennis balls (approx. 40 or more)
2-A tennis court (or two) that has a fence circling all the way around it and is no more than about 250 feet wide and 150-200 feet long.
3-A bunch of people to play
Soooo...this game is pretty much dodgeball, but it's elimination instead of respawn, so once you get out you're out for the rest of the match. Each player starts out with three balls, and you can't hold more than three. After someone gets out on either team, there are no boundaries and you can cross into the other team's territory (likewise, they can do the same to yours). You can get people out three ways: catching a ball they threw (no bounces), hitting them with the ball, or running at them and tagging them out. In the instance of a one-on-one (where you and the guy on the other team are the only people left playing), then the game goes to "knife fight," where you try to tag the other guy out with your tennis ball. Also, you can do cool little variations, like everyone has to throw and tag switch-handed and shirts vs. skins. My buddies and I do it every Saturday night. It's tons of fun, and y'alls should try it.

HAHAHA! Never thought of that...but you'd need the light-anywhere kind of matcheads.
-
Fill the tennis balls with Matchheads. Then watch the REAL Fun Begin.
-
If you'd like dents in your skull and broken bones instead of welts, then by all means go ahead :P
-
So... can I use billiard balls instea of tennis balls?
-
nope, I was serious about that. They don't get that much heavier, actually. They lose most of the water when they're spinning through the air. It doesn't hurt THAT MUCH more.
-
I wasn't sure if you were sarcastic either. Flinging tennis balls at each other in a rainstorm.
-
(in a sarcastic voice) Yeah! That way people would be REALLY dead instead of just imaginary dead! Wow! Talk about realism! ...Of course, I'm sure you were just kidding.
-
I think it would be more fun if we used rocks instead. And used real knifes for the close stuff.
-
hahaha. You can find these one kind of balls at Wal-Mart called "fun balls" and they are multicolored tennis balls with smileys on 'em. Not only do they hurt worse than normal tennis balls, but you can get a pack of 20 for like 7 bucks or something. Also, for maximum fun for this game, try playing it during a really heavy rainstorm.
