Given I haven’t played any sport for quite a few years, my girlfriend and I signed up to play in the local OzTag competition this summer. We got together a team and played our first trial match on Wednesday night. We were royally thrashed 24 tries to 1. 

It was only after this massive loss that I feel compelled to actually learn the rules of the game. I have played Rugby League for most of my life and OzTag is pretty much just a non contact version of that. Or so I thought. I had expected we would score many of our tries from kick-chase style plays. Unfortunately for us, my Googling revealed any kick in play that rolls over the try-line is deemed ‘dead’ and play needs to be restarted. So that rules out our main attacking weapon. Which begs a few questions: Why did I not Google this before we started playing? Can I Google a way to make our team better players? And how much will we lose by this week?
