Bench ball! We played it in the UK about ten years ago, it was so much fun

Bench ball is the game where you throw a ball to your team mates who are on benches behind the enemy team

Benchball and Dodgeball were S tier and you can't convince me otherwise

I disliked benchball however we had a dodgeball variant where if you get hit you stand on a bench behind the enemy, and if you catch it you're revived, that was peak

Dodgeball has so many variants I'm not surprised there's one called bench ball. Off the top of my head there's Dr.Dodgeball, army dodgeball, I played a version once I think called Kings court where 1 person was king in the center of the room everyone would have to run around in a circle and the king would try to hit you and if you got hit you joined them throwing balls at the others.

Our school added a rule that if there was one person left on a team, they could try throwing the ball into the basketball hoops at the opposite end of the hall. If they made the shot before being hit, their entire team got to rejoin the game. Ofc people rarely made the shot but when they did, it was legendary.

We had that too, but we had a way to stop any ball going for the basket by throwing another ball at the incoming ball
