Essex Crown Sports: Dodgeball

Dodge your way to victory and win points for your department!

Our second Essex Crown sporting event of the year stirs up some friendly competiton with a game of dodgeball

 

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge your way to dodgeballing glory with this classic tournament. Get a team of 8 players together (preferably mixed gender) and get your throwing arms prepared for what is going to be a terrific laugh! If there's lots more people in your department who want to join in the fun then feel free to bring them all along, they can be subs or just watch from the sidelines and cheer your team to victory.

If you've seen the film you should know the rules but if not, don't worry! The sports team will be on hand to explain everything on the night.

Each participant will get 20 points for their department if they're a student and 30 points if they're a member of staff. There will also be additional bonus points for the top teams. Make sure you encourage the rest of your department to come along and watch too because each spectator will earn your department an extra point.

What is the Essex Crown?

The Essex Crown is an exciting competition which pits departments against each other. Contenders earn points by participating in a range of different events. There are weekly riddles to be solved, one-off Essex Sports competitions to be won and skills to show off in The Exhibition. You'll learn new skills in workshops and enjoy some friendly rivalry in The Battle of the Consoles. There'll also be whole host of University of Essex and Students' Union events which you'll get points for by just turning up.

Finally, the top ten departments will face off against each other in The Final Showdown after which one will be crowned as the best department on campus.
