Has anyone heard of the sitdown method in dodgeball?

i read about it online. you are supposed to sit down to make urself a smaller target and apparently it works pretty well. If they aim too high, it hits ur head and counts as a head shot. if it hits ur chest, you probably will be able to catch it because ur just sitting down and ur legs wont get hit a lot? what do you think of this method? i want to try it but i might look pretty stupid ;) also which way do you think is the best? sitting criss cross or on ur knees? or something different? if you sit criss cross, theres a better chance of you getting hit in the knees on the side but if you kneel, you are a larger target.
