NERF is returning this year with its 2nd annual Dart Tag World Championship. Set to follow the Dew Tour yet again, which means if you are in one of the touring areas, you’ll have a chance to compete for the $25,000 grand prize.

Dew Tour Event Dates

  • June 25-27
  • July 23-25
  • August 12-15
  • September 16-19
  • October 14-17

While the dates have been set for each stop, the locations are still pending (UPDATE: Locations are in – 2010 Dart Tag Championship Locations). In 2009 Dew Tour made stops in Chicago, Boston, Portland, and Salt Lake City, so it is most likely they will pick new locations for 2010. dart tag world championship For those of you unaware, the NDTL (NERF Dart Tag League) holds regional tournaments in each stop of the Dew Action Sports Tour. There are two age divisions you can sign up for: 8 – 12 and 13 – 17. Each division will compete against teams within its division, so you will never compete against teams with players more than 4 years older than you.

Those fortunate to live in or near the cities visited in 2009 were given a shot to compete in a regional qualifying tournament. The teams that placed went on to compete in the 2009 World Dart Tag Championship, which kicked off in Orlando on October 17th, 2009.

What was the grand prize for 1st place you may ask? $25,000 BONES. That’s a lot of green, even after splitting it amongst the team.
