Backyard plinking is fun and all, but there's nothing like getting together with a few dozen (or a few hundred) friends and put on a large-scale nerf game.

Below you'll find a curated selection of major regional and national events. As our travel and sponsorship budget is limited, we cannot guarantee that the OOD team will attend or financially support all of these events. However, we have a longstanding relationship with many of the organizers, and have the utmost confidence that the 2025 blaster tag season will be the biggest ever!
