MOAR NEWS - NDTL - (Nerf Dart Tag League)

So there is this:

Yup. Hasbro's gone and started a league of competitive nerf events, the Nerf Dart Tag League. It kicks off with the Mt. Dew Action Sport Tour in Chicago, IL the weekend of June 26th and 27th. That's right, the Nike BMX 6.0 event.

There'll be a winning team from the cities on the tour, culminating in a Championship Finale in Florida. The games will be decided using dart tag and capture the flag rules, meaning competitors wear the vests and will have scores determined by where they hit the vests on opposing players in addition to flag captures. The link contains the full rules, but it does sound like something. There's even prize money!

Anyway, so what do I think about this? I actually really enjoy the idea. I even hope to get a glimpse of everything at Festival Village next week. I just hope my expectations of seeing the new CTF Dart Tag set are founded. I think taking stock ammo and darts is a good thing, and trying to garner attention to nerf fights with something like a league is brilliant. People will form teams, they will gather, and they will see. Not quite what the NIC is used to, but to even get the idea out there is plenty reason. I don't care what anyone says about goobers or other elitist thinking. We run around with children's toys, some more modified than others. Bring people in, let them figure out what more they can do. And that's what introductory things like this mean. I look forward to checking it out and seeing what's what, and getting out there. I invite other nerfers in/around Chicago to check it out. Hasbro needs to know that we're in support, even if we do make such a small population of the market. Nerfers... come out to play-ayyyy.... NERFERS.... COME-OUT-TO-PLAY-AYYYYYYY.
