The FORTNERF tournament will pit five-person teams against one another, in a game inspired by the popular "Battle Royale" video games of today. While the video games may feature parachuting from Battle Buses, or building structures on islands, our tournament will feature a stripped-down version of this genre. All players will start their matches with only foam melee weapons, and will have to "loot" the play area to find better equipment to combat their rival team with. Each side of the play area will have multiple "Loot Chests" in which players will find blasters, ammo, and other items for use, along with a special "Loot Crate" in the middle that will contain a special blaster for use.



To fully embrace the "Battle Royale" style gameplay, players will not bring their own equipment to compete with. Instead, DCNC will provide store-bought, stock performance equipment for use during play so that the competition has a more open environment, and that competitors will have to rely upon teamwork and communication to overcome their opponents.



Among the "Loot Chests", players will find the Magnus and Rotofury from Nerf's MEGA line of blasters, the Stryfe and Rapidstrike from Nerf's line of ELITE blasters, and the long-range Jupiter from the Nerf RIVAL product line. In the special "Loot Crate", players might find a Titan from the ELITE line, a Mastodon from the MEGA line, or a Perses or Prometheus from the RIVAL line. All blasters will be preloaded with the appropriate ammunition, and will get freshly charged batteries for each match.



FORTNERF is open to players ages seven to adult, and prizes will be awarded to the top three teams at the conclusion of the event. Each player will have to pre-register for the event, pay a $5 registration fee, and have a signed waiver in order to participate.



All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Gun Violence Survivors Foundation. "FORTNERF" is DCNC's first Nerf tournament, organized to benefit the Gun Violence Survivors Foundation . The GVSF is a Pennsylvania-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by gun violence in America, and is the charitable organization that we have chosen to support through our club.The FORTNERF tournament will pit five-person teams against one another, in a game inspired by the popular "Battle Royale" video games of today.
