Tournament Mode
Tournament mode consists of 7 rounds. Each round pits you against another Jr. League Dodgeball team leader. The object of each match is to knock out all of the 4 team members of your opposing team.
The goal of your team is to make it to the final round and win the Jr. League DodgeBall Championship. Winning the Tournament with each character will allow you to open up a special game mode called XS Challenge.
In XS Challenge, you can make a team of 4 Jr. League team leaders and play against the other 4 team leaders in one thrilling game of DodgeBall. So make sure you attempt to win the Tournament with each team leader.
Controlling your team
Each team consists of 4 main members, and 3 assisting members that are located on the outside boundaries of your opponent's team. Each member will be allowed to control the ball and have the ability to pass or shoot.
The field is divided into two sides by a boundary line in the middle. Your team is allowed to go up to this line, but must release the ball before going over. Failure to do so would cause you to lose control of the ball and will give the other team control.
