Is this the just same thing as dodgeball? Adam Bishop 04:23 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Probably. (They're certainly identical given what's in the page now.) - Hephaestos 04:30 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Not the same as dodgeball.

It's not the same as dodgeball. One of the definitions used is also used for dodgeball, but the more commonly used idea of muderball would be a mix of a rugby like sport in wheelchairs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtarng (talk • contribs) 22:56, 28 September 2005

Playground game

I came here expecting an article on the playground game, similar to the more extreme versions of British Bulldog, involving getting a ball from one side of the playground to the other. Has anyone else heard of/played this definition of murderball? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.6.149.17 (talk) 12:04, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, this is what we used to play at school in the South of England. Basically, the entire school would charge from either end of the field at each other and fight it out to get the ball from the middle to the other end by any means possible. Total chaos. 86.134.199.201 (talk) 02:01, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Gym game

The version we played at school was sanctioned by the PE department bizarrely. Teams split into roughly even numbers (around 5-7 usually), one gym mat per team. A pile of heavy medicine balls was placed in the centre of the mats with the object of ending the game (around 10 minutes if I recall) with the greatest number of balls on your mat. Rules were little more than no gouging, biting or overt punching. After an easy initial rush to grab as many of the balls from the centre as possible, you could either decide to concentrate your team on defending the balls you had, or go on the offensive to win more, but risk losing some of your existing stash to other teams. Great fun with almost guaranteed bruises to take home 217.155.105.80 (talk) 09:22, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
