When volunteer refs aren't available: Teams are scheduled to ref one game each night, but there is no penalty for teams who don't volunteer. If no one from the assigned team shows up to ref, captains can decide whether the game reverts to the “hot ball” rule (one off-colour ball determines advantage if players and balls are even), or if there are enough subs, whether each team or one of the teams provides a rotating ref from the player bench. If teams choose a rotating ref, that ref can only call advantage and cannot call outs due to the inherent conflict of interest.
Reason for change: Not all teams have players who are comfortable or interested in reffing.
60-second rule update. When a team has one player left on the court, the last player can keep no more than three balls on their side. This means the team or the player will need to pass up to three balls to the other team, regardless of advantage. Competitive does not follow the 60-second rule.
Reason for change: In a game that tracks advantage, players would run out the clock using the advantage countdown, keeping balls on their side and only throwing once every 10 seconds or so. This made it easier than intended for people to survive 60 seconds. Plus, dodgeball rules are designed to keep balls moving back and forth across the court, and hoarding balls goes against the spirit of the game.
