Seems pretty cool, especially for being free! I'm taking a discrete math course very soon at UT so this is nice.

The “official” Tetris games suck. If you want actually good tetris sites, I would recommend tetr.io or jstris.jezevec10.com.

We actually didn’t even run in the dark! We played from 4:45-6:30pm, where the sun was very much still shining. Maybe next time I host I’ll do it at night.

We actually played in the evening, from about 4:45-6:30pm. The park where we played was surprisingly empty for a Friday evening.

A bit of advice if you end up organizing it: make sure there's interesting terrain on both sides. Flat, open parks tend to be less fun to play in. Good luck, though!!

Wow! I would be slightly worried about getting in trouble there, but yeah: it's pretty symmetric and has some interesting terrain. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! Was definitely considering implementing "jail", but I wasn't sure where to put it for both teams, so I decided against it.

Not at UT yet, but going to UT in the fall to study applied math! I'm definitely looking to organize more fun stuff like this in Austin.

Thanks! The "flags" (balls) really make it more fun, because you can pass to other people.

True. I got lucky: when we played, there were maybe 20-25 non-players in the entire playing area, so avoiding them was no problem. I didn't hear any complaints about our game. It could have definitely been a bigger problem; thankfully,
