With roots stretching back to 2005, the 14th Annual Bay Area Design Dodgeball Tournament brings together designers from the San Francisco Bay Area for a mega clash-royale. As designers, it’s in our blood to be fiercely competitive, but at no other time throughout the year can we combine our physical strength, creativity and sportsmanship. Building on all that’s come before us, there’s no doubt that this year’s tournament will go into the record books as an epic event filled with intensity, camaraderie and friendship.

What I need to know
It’s pretty much mandatory to wear a unifying, wacky, ubsurd uniform. Whether a costume or T-shirt, the more absurd, the better. Although there’s no contest, people will be talking, so make it memorable. Oh yeah, unless you’ve never stepped outside, the Bay Area is usually cold, then hot. Wear layers.
Due to the increasing costs to host the event, lunch is on your own. IDSA SF has reserved two food trucks for the event so bring coin to taste their delicious food!
Plan to set up a home base for your team. Stock it with tents, umbrellas, lawn chairs and blankets. IDSA National will be at the tournament with some fun things for you to do as well.
Your older self will thank you.
- IDSA members start each game with a ball in hand! Read the rulebook for more details.
