| An onlooker might see the back fields of Anderson and wonder what the intersecting wood panels are for. Hurdles? Chairs? Stonehenge NJ? They, in fact, make up Campus Kids' Gladiator Court. |
|
|
The rules are as follows: two teams (though on occasion three) each receive a flag. |
|
|
|
They put that flag in their team's base, and can guard it. |
| Everyone is also wearing flags, and if an opponent rips your flag off, you're out. |
|
|
|
And if you get hit with an opponent's color dodgeball, you're out. You may not touch any dodgeballs that are not your team's, on penalty of being out. |
| The object is to steal the flag or flags and run it back to your base. That scores a point. |
|
|
|
The slightly wooded area makes for a perfect camouflage, but the advantage, or at times, disadvantage, is shared by both teams. |
|
And the following is gladiator, in action. |
