MUSHBALL RULES
 

Mushball is a volleyball game played in the mud by opposing teams. The first Saturday in August each year the LFFA sponsors a Mushball tournament to raise funds for projects our organization supports.

We have about 40 teams enter each year and some come from up north in British Columbia, Canada and as far south as Monroe.  Competition is serious but a lot of fun.

General volleyball rules apply but there are a few special considerations.

• A team must consist of six people and up to two alternatives. Teams can be all female, but male teams must have at least one female on the court at all times.
   

• Play is contained within a 30" by 60" pit and is 14" deep. The pit (court) is filled with quarry pit mud which is the consistency of pancake batter.
   

• Only lace, closed heals and toe footwear is acceptable.
   

• Games are played to eleven (11) points, best out of three. Teams must win by two (2) points.

Cash rewards for the team itself and the charity of the winning team's choice are presented for the first, second, and third place team through overall elimination.

1st place team gets $200, with 200 also going to a charity of their choice, 2nd place gets $150, with 150 also going to a charity, and third place gets $100.

The event is held at Word of Life Church, 1986 Main Street, Lynden on the northeast corner of Main Street and Guide Meridian Rd.
