Video: UCI Sets World Record in Dodgeball Participation

A total of 1,745 University of California, Irvine, students gathered in the Bren Events Center on campus Wednesday to participate in the world's largest game of dodgeball. Presided over by Guinness World Records adjudicator Kimberly Patrick (who actually counted every player, although some reports indicate only 1,725 participated), the event crushed the previous world record set in February at the University of Alberta with 1,198 participants. According to OC Metro, the UCI game will officially be posted on the Guinness World records website Monday.

The Orange County Register initially reported that there were not enough participants, so students began texting, calling, Facebooking and tweeting their friends about the game - who then turned out in droves.
