The Ragnarocktoberfest tournament team is looking for help testing this years rules changes for the King of the Hill format. If you have a group that is willing and able to test, your input would be incredibly helpful. The goal is to release the rules and finalized field layout in July, so if you have an interest, you can find the current test rules here: https://blastertagassociation.com/king-of-the-hill-2025-test-rules/

A brief overview of some of the changes:
– Field size and dimensions changed from a 125ft x 125ft square to a 150ft x 100ft rectangle.
– Dart cap significantly increased from 320 to 500 or more.
– Revamped respawn rules with the goal of reducing confusion, improving game flow, and making reffing easier. (Inspiration from BANE NSNW rules)
– Scoring changed from tapping a hill timer to gain control to being required to hold the timer to score points. (Inspiration from Singapore HotH tournament)
– Number of hills reduced from 3 to 2.

Feedback on all aspects are welcome, though some requests on aspects to try variations on in your testing:
– 500 dart limit vs 540 dart limit
– Flat 200 fps cap vs split 160/200 fps cap
– 7 player team size vs 8 player team size

Thank you so much to anyone that is able to help with testing so we can have feedback and input from more than one region!
