Introduction - What is a shotclock?
⏱ What is Shotclocking?
Shot clocking is the act of tracking a team's time limit to make a play. In dodgeball and other fast-paced sports, enforcing a shot clock encourages quicker decision-making, fairer gameplay, and better pacing — especially in competitive formats.
Without a clear time limit, teams can stall or play too passively. A shot clock solves this by holding players accountable to make a move within a set number of seconds.
🎯 Why It Matters
- 🕐 Keeps the game moving at a competitive pace
- ⚖️ Creates fairness between offensive and defensive transitions
- 🎤 Helps referees make objective timing decisions
- 📣 Informs players and fans visually and audibly
