The Playbook

Rules &
Regs.

Seven chapters. Read them before the bracket drops. No excuses on game day.

01
The Cup
One trophy. One quarter. The reigning champion holds The Community Cup on public display at their business until the next Throwdown. Lose it, hand it over.
02
The Bracket
24+ teams across three divisions: Men, Women, and Coed. Double-elimination. Best-of-3 finals. Every match is filmed for the highlight reel.
03
The Rubber
6 official 8.5" foam-coated rubber dodgeballs. All balls opened on center line. Head shots don't count against the thrower, but repeated ones earn a yellow card.
04
Outs & Catches
Hit = out. Caught = thrower out and one teammate returns. Blocking with a ball is legal — dropping the block ball is an out.
05
Rosters
Roster of 8, six on the court. Every business fields their own team. Ringers must be full-time employees with a verified paystub. No exceptions, no drama.
06
Smack Talk
Encouraged. Required, honestly. Keep it clean-ish. Team walkout songs mandatory. Custom uniforms mandatory. Trash talk feed lives on the site.
07
The Cause
Every dollar in — tickets, sponsorships, donations — funds the E.P.I.C. Foundation. Every Person Is Considered. That's not a slogan, that's the receipt.
