Waterball Fighting Rules in a Nutshell As promised earlier, here’s an explanation of what a waterball fight is all about. First, a cable 150 ft. long is stretched between two A-frame braces 10 ft. high and 120 ft. apart and anchored to the playing field. A 14” rubber ball is suspended from the cable. Object o f the game is for players to squirt water from fire hoses at the ball and drive it over the opponent’s goal. E ach fo u r -m a n team consists o f a nozzle man, a back up man, a hose man and a goalie. The nozzle man and his two helpers have one hose and the goalie also has one. The game starts with the teams crossing jets o f water from thier hoses, a la fencing, in the air over the ball suspended somewhere near the middle o f the cable. Then the fun begins: Games are divided into two three-minute heats with a two-minute time out period between heats. Goals count five points each. Official rules as laid down in th e V o lu n te e r F irem en’s manual provide for numerous penalties for illegal play. These include such underhand tactics as illegal substitution, touching the ball with anything other than a water stream and squirting water stream in an o p p o n e n t ’s face. Nothing however, is said about penalties for soaking spectators. That’s all part o f the game and you ’ve gotta see it to believe it! This year for the first time trophies will be awarded to the victors, if they survive. One trophy will be in permanent possession and a second, perpetual trophy, will be kept by the winners until lost in another match.
