This sport was started circa 1982 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There are about 150-200 fighters in the Tulsa area.
The group I fight with is in Colorado Springs. A few people from Mordor have been visiting them every Saturday, well worth the 2 hour drive. They have 40+ turnouts. This game is a lot of fun. It's basically just like our sport, just different weapons and a few variations. The weapons look painful but they really aren't bad. They slice thru the air a lot better than ours, and they look neat.
2 thumbs up !
Plus the people are a lot of fun to hang out with. Friendly and welcoming, there's a great attitude on the field. I went to an event of theirs in Tulsa, and had an excellent time.
