Epic Dodgeball Games

1,200 University of Alberta Students Unofficially Shatter Record

I wish I could have played in this record-breaking dodgeball game! Canada swiped the title of "biggest dodgeball game" from my local San Diego State University when they hosted a 1,200 person dodgeball game.

The old record was 450 people. They didn't swipe it so much as they shattered it. The dodgeball game was put on by the student union at the University of Alberta. The record-breaking dodgeball game was a huge hit, as evidenced by the video. The record will take a few months for Guinness to officially recognize, but it seems likely it'll go through. Congrats Canada.
