OUR Gellyball GUIDELINES
Gellybal Rules & Regulations for Steeltown Event Park
Gellyball uses lightweight blasters to shoot soft, water-based gel balls (gellets) at ~100-150 fps — ultra low-impact, no pain, no stains, no mess — perfect for ages 6+ (some venues allow 5+).
Violations of safety rules result in referee penalties, up to removal from play or the facility.
Full goggles/masks must stay on at all times in the playing area. No exceptions — remove it and you're out for the session.

Win Condition |

2 teams |
Collect and return colored rings to your cone; steal from enemy cone |
Yes (Instant) |
Most rings collected when time expires |
- Setup: Players split into 2 teams (e.g., red vs blue jerseys). Each team starts at opposite sides of the field ("net" area—use a central dividing line, fence, or marked zone if available). Place multiple sets of colored rings (e.g., hula hoops, plastic rings, or bright discs in 3-5 different colors) scattered randomly across the neutral middle area. Each team has a designated cone (or bucket/marker) at their starting side as the collection point. Teams are given a fixed number of lives each (e.g., 5-10 lives per player, or shared team lives; track with armbands/patches removed on hit).
- Play: Teams rush to collect rings from the scattered piles and return them to their own cone. Players can carry only one ring at a time. If a player is hit, they lose their current ring (it drops where they were hit and can be picked up by anyone), return to their spawn side for instant respawn, and lose one life. Once a player's lives are depleted, they are out for the round (or spectate). Teams can raid the enemy cone to steal one ring at a time from it (must physically grab and return it to their own cone without being hit). Dropped rings in neutral zone are fair game for anyone.
- Scoring: Each ring in your cone at the end counts as 1 point (or per color set if using multiples).
- Twists: Certain colored rings worth more points; time-limited power-ups for faster movement or temporary shields; rings can be "locked" in cone after placement (can't be stolen once in cone for 30 sec).
- Respawn: Instant at your starting side (after losing a life).
- Win Condition: When time expires (e.g., 10-15 minutes), the team with the most rings in their cone wins. Ties broken by sudden-death overtime or most lives remaining.
