"There are many variations of the game, but generally the main objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, [or] catching a ball thrown by a member of the opposing team" Hello Coach! Welcome to the furiously competitive sport of Checkerboard Dodgeball! Prepare for a fast game of team elimination! In games of Checkerboard Dodgeball!, Coaches draft teams of 5 players to face off on a standard checker or chessboard. Each round, Coaches select up to three players with unique abilities and activation speeds to run and throw balls at opposing players. Hits are determined by opposing die rolls - often, the higher roll hitting and knocking a player out of the game. A defender's lucky roll dodges or even catches the ball, taking the thrower out and bringing a friendly player back into play!
