Ladderball is played in teams of 2. This event will be played as a Single Elimination tournament.
Ladders will be set up 15’ apart from each other. 1 member from each team will be at each ladder. Teammates must stand directly across from each other and not shift sides when playing.

A coin toss will start the game – The team that wins the coin toss will choose which side they wish to shoot from. The team that loses the coin toss will choose who shoots first in the opening round.
In the first round, Team A throws all 3 of their bolas. After all 3 have been thrown, then Team B throws their 3 bolas. This is often a mistake. Throws do not alternate between teams after each bola is thrown. Team A throws ALL 3 BOLAS, then Team B throws their 3 bolas.
Players must remain behind the front edge of the ladder when throwing their bolas.
After all 6 bolas have been thrown, the bolas remaining on the ladder are awarded points. All bolas receive points, there is no cancellation scoring
Top rung is worth 3 points, middle rung is worth 2 points and bottom rung is worth 1 point
There is no set way to throw a bola, therefore a player may toss anyway he/she likes and can even bounce a bola on the ground.
It is okay, encouraged even, to knock the bolas of other players off the rungs; in that case, those bolas do not count as points.
The team with the most points at the end of the round throws first the next round. If no points are scored, or both teams have the same number of points, the team that threw last will then throw first the next round, Throwing ALL 3 BOLAS. Play continues in this fashion until the game ends
The first team to 21 points or more wins, but must win by 2. If teams are both at 21, play continues until a team is ahead by more than 2 points.
