Have fun and raise money for a worthy cause in this assassination-style, sock-knitting competition! Like a sniper, the goal of this game is to take out your target, from a distance, with skill, stealth and precision. Prior to the beginning of the mission, you will be provided with a dossier on your targets vital information and a choice of four weapons (patterns) with which to do the deed. Take them out quickly, because you never know who might be coming for you!

Registration for the game will begin by August 1, 2012 with battle commencing on September 1, 2012.
