It has a loyal following in attendance and attracts Nerfers from many states and levels of experience. Usually hosted by User:Crankmonky, User:Captainslug, User:One Man Clan, or User:Groove.

Fields

The Gauntlet - The Gauntlet, AKA Wayside Elementary School, was the site of the first DCNO and up until recently (due to large-scale renovations) has been the main venue for every DCNO thus far. The setup of the field offers a nice variety of close-quarters urban style combat with a mixture of open, grassy fields for longer range weapons. The venue gets its name from the network of wooden walkways and ramps that surround the portable classrooms, which allows participants to set up ambushes, crossfires, etc. The Gauntlet has been permanently retired as determined prior to the Summer 2009 DCNO. The construction was finished and the "Gauntlet" itself has been removed as the portable classrooms had been replaced by an extension to the building.

The Labyrinth -The Labyrinth, AKA Beall Elementary School, was selected as the new site for DCNOs in the Fall of 2007. It bears many similarities to Wayside Elementary and The Gauntlet, with an intertwining section of wooden walkways and ramps, portable classrooms, as well as open grassy fields. The venue gets its name from the many covered walkways that encompass the site that give it a very distinct dark, enclosed feeling.
