Mason's dodgeball record hopes deflated by UCI

Attendants at the Mason Welcome Week Event: World’s Largest Game of Dodgeball on Sept. 3, are now learning their world record attempt was bounced by another university: University of California at Irvine.

According to the Guinness Book of World Record’s website, on Sept 22, less than three weeks after Mason’s attempt, UCI amassed a greater number of “dodgeballers” with 1,745 participants in the match, eclipsing Mason’s total of 1,257.
