Dangaard
Where: Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville, FL
When: Sunday, June 15th. Games start around 10am.

1) YOUR Guns - see below
2) YOUR Darts
3) Lots of fluids. The almanac has an average temperature for June 15th of 91 degrees.
4) Lunch if you want. There are multiple fast food joints (McD's, Wendy's, etc...) and a Publix (nice deli) located very close to the site.
5) Eye Protection (Mandatory) Sunglasses will suffice.

We have 5 definite local attendees counting myself, but there's a good chance I'll have more by the time this thing goes off. We will be playing in a huge outdoor raquetball court near the school's teaching zoo. The court has a long hallway that connects to 6 large, empty courts via half doors. At the far end is a staircase leading to an observation deck which overlooks all 6 courts. Hypothetically, one could shoot down into any of the rooms from this deck. The whole thing is surrounded by grass and trees.
The nature of the site should lend to some interesting gameplay especially during CTF or attack/defend type scenarios. As far as weapons go, the structure itself is pretty confined while the area surrounding it is quite open, promoting the use of both short-ranged rapid fire guns and long-ranged single shot guns.
Singled Titans will not be allowed and very strong guns will be checked before permitted. We're going to have a fair amount of stock and slightly modded guns on the field because alot of the locals are new to Nerf and don't have uber-modded death-bows yet. Honestly though, on this field anyone with skill could do fine with a couple well modded Nitefinders. Winning a game on here will depend more on tactics and teamwork than how far your gun can shoot.
I know that most of the NIC is either in california or the Northeast, both of which are anything but close to Florida, but I'm hoping some of the southeast nerfers can make it out! I'll update this page as needed. Enjoy the following field pics:
