After you have devoured your NFL football, turkey and pumpkin pie (and if you live in San Francisco) head over to Dolores Park’s tennis courts (near 18th and Church St.) starting at 9:00pm. Click here for more information.
The only catch is you have to stay awake after you eat long enough to digest, sober up and get yourself there.

So it looks like Dodge — the well known brand of car made by Chrysler — in conjunction with Stride Gum, is finally having some fun in the branding department with dodgeball.
Stride Gum is giving away the chance to win a Dodge Caliber. And it’s so fun and easy. Jusy play their quick little online game of one-on-one dodgeball (you versus the “computer”), then enter to win. The only catch is it’s only open to “legal residents of the 50 U.S. & District of Columbia 17+ years of age”.
Visit the site for more details and for your chance to win a new car!
Los Angeles Dodgeball4Ever’s Sunday open gym session, they say, “is very similar to The Passion of the Christ in that it also lasts about three hours, and a guy has a beard.”
From 1:30PM to 4:30PM balls fly at the Hollywood Rec Center at 1122 Cole Ave., 90038. Bring $5 to cover costs.
They also request that you wear a unitard if you have one. And Sunday service will be followed by Happy Hour.
If you are interested in playing please email from here.
My league, the Toronto Central Sport and Social Club will be hosting another dodgeball tournament on Saturday November 24. You can get more information here.
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!
Aksys Games, the makers of Super Dodgeball, will be releasing the all new Super Dodgeball Brawlers for the Nintendo DS™ next spring.
The old-school Kunio characters will be back packing a whole new whack of super throws and attacks, wreaking havoc on the playground. You can even have up to eight players at a time.
This new version of the game will let you get rough, throwing punches and kicks at will. Another new feature will be creating your own characters.
Enjoy, gamers!

Apparently there was a three-day dodgeball tournament in India last weekend – the 1st Junior Chandigarh State Dodge Ball Championsihp. Girls and boys from local high schools participated. Cool.
Hosted by “Dodgeball Association”, the school’s Finance and Sports secretary presented the trophies and “complimented the efforts of the Dodgeball Association to popularize the game among students.”
Here is the most intriguing part to me: The president of the association narrated the history of dodgeball “which started about 600 years ago in Africa and from there it went to Europe and USA.”
Yet another theory! I love theories of dodgeball history. Anyone care to challenge that one?
