Join the forum discussion on this post - (2) PostsFor everyone who hasn’t already noticed, DeTAG registration is open! DeTAG is a live action, team based re-envisioning of the classic game of tag. Work with your team to seek, trace, trap and tag your opponents. Spearheaded by Professor Jay Pecho’s GAM224 class, this session of DeTAG includes a new rule: The VIP. On each team there is now a VIP, a person who is worth double points if tagged. The catch? You only know your target team’s VIP, not your own. Once tagged, another member of your team is immediately assigned to be the VIP.
To register, First make sure your account on the DeFRAG website is Campus Connect Verified, then go here.
