They Write Like That Even When They're Supposed To Be Having Fun.

                                                                 A game of BoxTag yesterday.

This ends a report about the recent Police and Emergency Service Games.

"This year saw two new sports introduced to the games, BoxTag, which is a boxing related activity which involves light contact to the body with an emphasis on speed, skill and physical conditioning and open water swimming."  

"The open water swim is a 2km swim conducted at Sandridge Beach, Port Melbourne."

Surely they could have come up with something better than "a boxing related activity".

And what about the dangling participle in the first sentence that combines the two sports?

Dangling what?

Well, according to the first sentence, BoxTag is a boxing related activity which involves light contact to the body with an emphasis on speed, skill and physical conditioning and open water swimming.

Sounds dangerous.

Someone could drown.
