RIT World Record Attempt Prompts ‘Taunting’ Message from University of Alberta

RIT steps up dodgeball-player recruitment efforts for May 1 event

Rochester Institute of Technology prepares to break the world record for the single largest dodgeball game in history, starting at noon on Sunday, May 1

As Rochester Institute of Technology prepares to break the world record for the single largest dodgeball game in history, starting at noon on Sunday, May 1, the current record-holders from University of Alberta in Canada are doubting RIT’s Tiger spirit. Our neighbors to the north issued this challenge to the RIT community via YouTube video.

The RIT event is expected to draw at least 2,500 players who will be split into two teams playing with more than 650 dodgeballs. RIT’s promotional video.

The current record for the largest dodgeball game is 2,012 participants. For more information, go to the "RIT Attempts to Break World Dodgeball Record May 1" article.
