Mojo Kickball ™ - it's not kickball

Quickie Rules

No one has time for the complete rules. So I'm gonna try and give you the quickest version of the Mojo Kickball™ rules that I can. However, if you want to learn about the complete and official rules of Mojo Kickball™, then click here.

Summary

  • The game is timed and divided into four 12-minute quarters.
  • Whoever gets the most runs wins.
  • There are 6 balls in play.
  • The Pitcher is on the Kicking Team.
  • Unlimited "outs", "strikes", and "fouls".

Kickers and Runners

  • May not bunt or kick short of the Pitcher's mound.
  • May run and steal as many bases as possible as soon as they kick.
  • Start from "home plate", run the bases, and score at Third Base.
  • Are not "out" if they catch a ball that has been thrown at them.
  • Can field/retrieve any ball that lands foul.

The Chasers

  • Are Kickers who get "out".
  • Consist of a "Chaser" and an "Outer Chaser".
  • Try to get the balls back from the Fielders.
  • "Tag" Fielders who have balls.
  • "Tagged" Fielders must drop their ball. The ball is then "dead".
  • Can then send "dead" balls back to the Kicking team.
  • Cannot interfere with a Fielder until the Fielder touches a ball.
  • Every Kicker who gets "out" will become either a Chaser or an Outer Chaser before they can return to kicking.
  • May be relieved by other people in the Chaser line by swapping out belts.
  • If the Fielders have no balls, then the Outer Chaser is dismissed.

Dead Ball

  • Is a ball that is off-limits to the Fielders.
  • Can be fielded and sent back to the Kicking team.
  • If a Fielder touches a ball and then it hits the ground -- the ball is "dead".
  • If a Fielder with a ball gets tagged by the Chaser -- the ball is "dead".
  • If the Ball lands foul -- the ball is "dead".

Fielders

  • Try to get Kickers/Runners "out".
  • No force-outs. Kickers must be tagged or directly hit with the ball.
  • May also catch a kicked ball (even foul balls) to get that Kicker "out".
  • Avoid the Chaser(s) and try to keep as many balls as they can.
  • May NOT interfere with a pitched ball.
  • May NOT interfere with a ball until the ball gets past the Pitcher.

Mayhem

  • Is a side-rule/special rule.
  • May ONLY be called by the Pitcher.
  • Must be CONFIRMED by the Referee.
  • Lasts exactly one minute.
  • Everyone on the Kicking Team temporarily becomes a Chaser.
  • Fielders who don't get tagged by anyone may keep their ball.
  • Fielders who make it into the Kicking Zone with a ball may keep their ball.
  • Each team has one "free" Mayhem per game that is not counted against game time.
