Away from the clutter.
This competition is quite similar to the first competition of the game, but you will have a lot more control over what's going on. But with balls being thrown this time instead of a slow pendulum swinging, you will have a lot less time to react. The goal in this game is to eliminate all houseguests from the opposing team. The two teams will be posting in the same thread in this game.
The object of the game is to throw a ball at someone from the opposing team. To do this, someone will say "____ throws ball at ____". One of three things will happen from there - a houseguest will catch it, a houseguest will dodge it, or a hosueguest will get hit by it.
For the houseguest to catch it, they must post "____ catches ball thrown by ____" in the SAME MINUTE as it was posted. This means if Taylor posted "Taylor throws ball at Britti" at 11:05, Britti must catch it at 11:05. If she is late with the catch, she will be eliminated. If Britti does catch the ball in time, Taylor gets eliminated.
For the houseguest to dodge it, they must post "____ dodges ball thrown by ____" within one minute of the ball being thrown. So if Jason throws the ball at Jamie at 11:10, Jamie has before 11:12 hits to dodge. If he waits a second after 11:11:59, he will be hit and eliminated. If a houseguest dodges successfully, they get to stay in the game.
Eliminations are, as noted, done by when you get hit by the ball. You get hit if you catch late, if you dodge late, or if you do nothing at all when someone throws something at you.
The surviving team will win this competition. If both teams still have surviving houseguests after 24 hours, the team with the most will win. If that is tied, the team that scored the last elimination will win.
If the board glitches, make sure you notify. Make adjustments if necessary!
This competition will begin at 10 PM EST. Do not begin a second earlier or you will be penalized.
A few FAQs:
Can you catch a ball thrown at someone else?
No.
Can you hide your throws?
Your throws must be posted, so don't try to hide them in your sig, thread title, etc. I don't care if you try to conceal them in posts.
Can someone who is throwing dodge?
They can do whatever they want. Throwing has no effect on balls being thrown at you other than posting limits.
Do I have to wait until someone doges or catches to throw?
No. There's balls everywhere so you can pick one up and throw it at anytime you want. Just pay attention for anyone throwing at you, there is a 15-second post limit and that could cost you if you throw at the wrong time.
