    We called it "war ball" back in the day. That game was the shi-ite...the ultimate expression of Darwinism for 13 year olds. The weak, puny kids always got eliminated early. We even had this rule that said if there was only one person left and he was dodging too many balls, the other team could "go in for the kill" and start pegging him from close in. That happened to me one time, and I took a serious shot to the nads from about six feet away, pretty much ending my short dodgeball career.

    In our version of wall ball, if the ball hit you but you didn't catch it, you had to run and touch the wall while everybody else had free reign to peg you. If you threw the ball at somebody and it hit them after they touched the wall, you had to line up on the wall with your back to everybody and every other person in the game got a free shot at you until you got hit...I can't remember exactly what that rule was called.
