Description:
This is a variant of Domination that incorporates a target mechanism in addition to area control. In this game teams are attempting to control the majority of control points on the field. However, in order to take control of a point they must shoot a target to make it switch to their teams color.
Quick Reference Rules:
A player takes control of a point by shooting the target to switch the indicator to their team's colors.
Targets can only be shot
Infinite lives. 10 second respawn
Game ends when the timer goes off
Detailed Rules
What if I accidentally shoot the target after getting shot?
Set the target you shot back to the color that it was at before you hit it.
Can I move a control point/target?
No
Can I use melee or throwables on a target?
No
Group-Specific Rules

Other General Rules
Be respectful. It’s only a game.
Use common sense
Before touching someone's gear ask for permission
Everyone should have eye protection

Players shouldn't discuss what's going on if they haven't spawned back in.

Targets can be something like the Nerf Rival Saturn target that has been painted to alternate team colors or as complex as an Arduino controlled device.
