Would you be intrigued by an annual video series inspired by Extreme Dodgeball from Game Show Network, w/ country vs country matches, and a modified version of the rules?
If yes, what rules would you like to see, keeping it to a more professional theme / spectator friendly / entertaining style? I already have something in mind, as I began playing in 2001 at age 14 in my first year of high school, 12 years later was the first player selected on a USA Team for a world championship event using one of my less preferred ball types and rule sets, and gained experience with the sport across 7 countries with different styles / ball types. With enough interest, I'd love to use this as a way to create a new community, finding one representative per country.

Yes, and also Jason Bateman must be one of the announcers.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton.
How extreme we talking? Like “dodge a wrench” extreme?
extrem to the max

Yes, and I've heard some players say rubber ball types are too extreme for them, but I think it would be the best type, such as some of the ones used in Extreme Dodgeball.
I also heard something about some people not liking a lot of the rule changes as the game show progressed to new seasons, and ball size differences, so I would say ball size to be the 8.5 inch size.
Are there ever things for the players to hide behind? I feel like dodge ball would benefit from that.
That could be a nice addition, almost something like a Ninja Warrior course design, American Gladiators, Guts, Legends of the Hidden Temple, or Double Dare inspired designs but still keeping it with a professional sports theme.
My shoulder dislocated just looking at the thumbnail.
No
I think I read about this in OSQ
