  Largest dodgeball game - world record set by the University of Alberta

 EDMONTON, Canada --The University of Alberta gathered around 1,200 students, faculty and staff to hurl squishy red balls at each other - setting the new world record for the Largest dodgeball game.

“We thought it’d be a really good event that could bring the campus together,” said Nick Dehod, a spokesman with the university’s student’s union, moments before the big game started. “I’m really excited.”

    The previous Guinness world record for the Largest dodgeball game, held by San Diego State University, was 450 people.

   The student’s union and the campus residence’s association came up with the idea for a record-breaking game after talking to students who live in Lister Hall, where they play the game regularly.

   The players were randomly separated into teams of green and gold, representing the school’s colours.
    More than 400 balls were set up at the centre line while participants cheered and mascots danced around the makeshift playing field.

   Only the most eager sprinted to the middle line when the game officially began. They retreated just as quickly and a steady stream of balls began flying through the air.

    One by one, players were picked off and slunk away to stand with the spectators. Although they were slow to start, the gold team was eventually declared the winner.
