Teams of seven will play four rounds of dodgeball before heading into the playoffs. And they say there will be “awesome prizes” for 1st place.

So get out there all you Beantowners, and play some dodgeball.

Each team will be charged a $100 entry fee and can have a maximum of 10 players. Cash prizes will be awarded!

It’s a great cause and more than 200 people came out last year, raising $1,600.  Hopefully this year will raise even more funds!

My favourite dodgeball tournament of the year in Toronto is on again: The Motrin IB my Game my Pain Canadian Beach Dodgeball Championship Series 2008. (Yes it’s a mouthfull, but yes, that’s what corporate sponsorship means, doesn’t it?)

March 29

- Up to $5000 cash purse. Top 8 teams are ‘in the money’.
- Refereed games
- Indoor sand courts and onsite bar, catered food available.

And the best new part about it:

- playoff format for 2008: The single elimination playoff format will be adjusted to make the playoffs more fun for everyone. Top teams will advance to competitive bracket to compete for cash prizes and the remaining teams will advance into the consolation bracket to compete for other great tournament prizes!

Hosted by my league, the Toronto Sport & Social Club, this tourney is like nothing you’ve ever seen! You get to play in the sand, which means extra cardio, and thrilling dives. And yes, sand in places where the sun don’t shine.

My one tip: bring flip-flops. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

This is a great event folks. If you’re into dodgeball, or are even just curious to come out and watch, it’s always a super fun time.

I also noticed there will be a Calgary tourney June 7 and Ottawa June 14, so spread the word!

They are holding a tournament coming up this weekend, Saturday March 8, 2008.

Registration is also opening soon for the spring season, kicking off April 14.

The site also features some YouTube video clips of one of their dodgeball games, and other sports as well including 3-on-3 basketball.

More than 45 former contestants from the hit CBS reality show Survivor will come together to play dodgeball and raise funds benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. The event is hosted in conjunction with Reality 4 Diabetes and was put together by Cook Islands contestants Billy Garcia and Cristina Coria.

Some of the castaways who will be ducking, dipping and diving their way through the tournament include Rupert Boneham, Big Tom Buchanan, and Lex van den Berhe from Survivor: All Stars.

The only catch is you have to stay awake after you eat long enough to digest, sober up and get yourself there.

The UW chapter of the Washington Public Interest Research Group (WashPIRG) will sponsor a dodgeball tournament to raise funds for homeless youth and young adults in the U-District.

The goal is to raise at least $1,000 for the University District Service Providers Alliance, a coalition of nonprofit organizations in the U-District.

Five players are required per team and costumes are expected to be worn. The fee is $10 per person or a donation of canned food. Canned food items can also be donated at the door.

Prizes will be given to the team that raises the most money and the team with the most creative costumes. One final secret grand prize will be awarded to the tournament’s winner.

They are offering two different tournaments: recreational and intermediate levels. The cost is $225 per team.

I went to the last one a few weeks ago, and I thought it was one of the most fun dodgeball tournaments they’ve had yet – except for the annual indoor beach tourney. That’s the highlight of the year!
