I'm actually a bit confused about the rules they're playing with in the dodgeball chapter. When I played dodgeball as a child, it was always a rule that if you caught someone's throw, THEY were out (so like, when Aoba's ball gets caught, she's out, not just her opponent having possession of the ball). I also never heard of getting people back into the game after they were out. Anyone familiar with the variant they're playing here?
The film Dodgeball seems to use a similar system (I think in that one, it was catching a ball that let you get back one of your outed teammates). Course Japanese high school dodgeball probably has its own rules.
I'm not sure about getting people back, but the rules I played was if you get hit and can't catch ball before it hit the ground, you are out. If you catch ball before of after being hit, the game is on and you now have chance to throw. So basically you either try to dodge ball or catch it so you can retaliate. If I remember correctly if you just dodge it, it would go back to enemy team so it was more profitable to take a risk and try to catch it yourself and try to take down someone on their side. I really don't remember, but I don't think we had a rule that once you catch a ball you can get someone back on field. I think we might do it sometimes, but I think we usually didn't because it would make game way too long.
