# Beach dodgeball captains' guide

### Rules

* **Volunteer refs.** Teams will be scheduled to ref one game each Sunday. Two people from the reffing team are required to be at the game. We understand this will be a learning experience for most people, and Play Sask staff and other players will be happy to help.
* **No headshots**. In Casual leagues, the thrower is out if players are hit in the head, including putting their hands up to block a ball that would have hit their head. Headshots will continue to be legal in Competitive leagues.
* **60-second rule**. In Casual leagues, if the last player on the court can stay alive for 60 seconds, the first player out can rejoin the game. A stopwatch must be set to count the time. Teams may call a time-out to start a timer.
