Cheating is cheating. What are you talking about? You can't HIDE your glowstick and pretend that you aren't playing. That was BS. People had their glowstick behind there back or under sweaters... How does that make it fun??

And, I could see why the refering started yelling at the people lighting fireworks off. Like, how dumb is that. Going to ruin games like this in the future by lighting fireworks (or firecrackers) off in the middle of the city beside Royal York.

Uh, how about charging a few bucks to cover costs? who WOULDN'T pay 5 bucks?

Nah, Refs are idiots. They make up rules on the spot and don't know the true essence of the game. Cheating is not cheating, it's covert, undercover strategy. Even in their description about Capture the Flag, they say it's a childhood game...which it's not. This game is the game used in armies and spec ops for training. Even the Spartans did this.
What the hell...I am just thankful that Kevin and Lori did this for us. They are awesome and I support them.

despite the cheating, it was hella fun and i wouldnt ever miss this. it was my 3rd year. even if half the players are following all the rules thats still 850 people who come to have fun together with good intentions. its a huge and amazing event and i think this will keep getting bigger and get a lot more attention.

Refs. were volunteers and most did a pretty good job, esp. when the yellow team threw the flag in a taxi cab in an attempt to score lol. That was funny but the ref was right there. Great event, ill sure to be there next year again.

Btw: I some people with cameras filming the event throughout the night. Any idea on when the vid. would be posted?

Kevin I hope you get the money you are looking for.
Lack of volunteering is no reason for anyone to be frustrated.
Lack of money is no lack of interest or donations, it's lack of planning.
Think about it.

Kevin from Newmindspace

Yes, there were a couple of refs who became frustrated because of the lack of volunteerism this year. We put out several calls for help and only got a handful of refs, who bore a larger burden than last year's team, which was twice the size.

If you want to support our events, we always need more volunteers and donations!

We are currently $400 short of breaking even on this one... that's only $0.25 per person. Think about it! :)

Looking forward to seeing you at the next event :)

I know which girl you guys are talking about, but I'm not sure her hair was purple...wasn't blue? She was short and had her hair in a pony talk. That girl and some mouth on her. I'm surprised the group didn't rush her.

The Night was a complete success. The Refs are young and are still learning how to handle difficult situations. I give credit to the organizers for doing this.
It's hard to lead people. I can't wait until next time.
Warren one person got hurt. A ref tried to snatch a green necklace off of a player who was trying to calm her down when she was freaking out on everyone.

It was fun.. we ran into the hotel and stayed there for a bit.. people looked at us funny with our glowsticks and all. Overall good experience, would like to do it again without having to dodge cars along the way.

Awesome fun. Thanks. Did anyone end up getting hurt? I was expecting someone to get 'tagged' by a bus. The city is way quieter during the week (in terms of traffic) - think that would be better? or not?

Kevin from Toronto

I think the problem is that the Referees are young and lack experience. They never like to hear this. Everybody was cheating left, right and center, which means that the rules have to change. She had no right to yell at everyone regarding fireworks. She has no power over that and to tell the crowd that the police called was a complete lie. They never call. They just show up. Hopefully next year will be better.
The Chinese dude is wack.

The oriental ref who kept insulting the green team when he was trying to make the circle was a goof. Instead of getting everyone's attention and bringing order, he just insulted everyone.

This was my first time here and as cool as it was, I don't think I'll be doing this again.

The guy ref who was talking at the beginning and explaining the rules was cool.
But I know who Neo is talking about. The girl with the purple hair and was short and keep cussing at everyone wrecked it. That's why everyone just started ignoring her. One of the players had to pull her off from a screaming match with 2 new girls.

Kevin from Newmindspace

Hey there, Cam and Neo, those don't really sound like any of the volunteers we had reffing the game. You should have asked them for their names.

The teams were exactly even as we handed out the same number of glowsticks, one at a time.

The final count was approximately 1700 :)
