" "

The Classic LAZER TAG game is an individuals game, which means that all other players are your opponents. The winner is the last player not tagged out. Each player has unlimited reloads, 10 Mega-Tags, 15 seconds of shields, and is tagged out after receiving 10 tags from other players. After a player is tagged out, their Game Time will continue to run for another 2 minutes and the number of minutes and seconds which they lasted before being tagged out will be shown below the Game Time. Any player who has cheated by restarting their TAGGER in mid-game will have a much lower Game Time than anyone else, so players can check each others timers to ensure no player has done this. A TAGGER will go to sleep if there is no activity for two minutes after being tagged out. To maintain your game timer longer than this, press OK once a minute or so until the game is over for all players, then you can compare timers. Classic LAZER TAG is not a Hosted game, so it does not require Hosting and Joining the way the other more advanced games do. It also does not support Debriefing and Scoring at the end of the game.

LAZER TAG CODE OF CONDUCT
LAZER TAG Players follow a strict code of conduct when playing LAZER TAG. The following is the Official LAZER TAG Code Of Conduct that should be strictly adhered to in every game of LAZER TAG. Rule 1: LAZER TAG is a non-contact sport This means no physical contact between you and other players EVER! Rule 2: No covering the Receiver Dome This means do not use anything to cover up the Receiver Dome thereby preventing you from receiving tags. If you want to avoid being tagged, you must use your defensive shields or take cover behind something. Rule 3: Equipment Failure means Disqualification In the event that your TAGGER fails to work, you are disqualified and must wait until the end of the game to join the next one. Please check your TAGGER and HUD (HEADS UP DISPLAY) carefully before entering a game to ensure that it is working properly. Rule 4: LAZER TAG is a Game Players must remember that LAZER TAG is only a game. It is designed purely for recreational use and for fun. Not having fun is against the code.
Rule 5: LAZER TAG is a Team Sport Although LAZER TAG is a highly competitive sport, in many of the games you must consider the success of the team first. Players will win and lose as teams, not individuals. Theres no I in TEAM!

LAZER TAG GAME FEATURES

Common to all LAZER TAG games are: Lock-On Your on your LCD screen will blink to indicate that there is another player in your sight. The green light icon in the HUD (HEADS UP DISPLAY) will also flash. Tag your opponent when you are locked-on. IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe) You will hear the sounds bee-bee-beep, bee-bee-beep if the player you are locked-on to is someone you are supposed to tag (your enemy), or poonkpoonk-poonk if they are someone you are not supposed to tag (your teammate). Proximity You will hear Danger if your enemy is nearby. Reloads You must reload after launching 10 tags. You can reload sooner without losing the tags you havent launched. You will hear a mechanical click. Shields You can raise defensive shields, lasting up to 10 seconds each by pressing the SHIELD BUTTON once to raise the shield and again to lower the shield. When your shields

All Hosted games must have at least 2 players.
TO HOST A GAME OF LAZER TAG 1. Press the TRIGGER to wake up your TAGGER. 2. The TAGGER will make a power-up sound and then display the
Main Menu which has four options:
LTAG Play a basic Grab & Go game of Classic LAZER TAG. JOIN Join a game Hosted by another player. HOST Be the TAG MASTER and host a game for other players to join. QUIT Return to sleep mode.
4. Use the INC. and DEC. buttons to scroll through these options
to the game you want and press OK.
TT: Y or N Team tags, yes or no. Decide whether tags from players on your team do (Y) or do not (N) count against you. MM: Y or N Medic Mode, yes or no. Decide whether players on a team can (Y) or cannot (N) assist their teammates by transferring some of their remaining tags to their teammates. TIME: <##> - Time limit for the game, in minutes.
3. Use the INC. and DEC. buttons to scroll to HOST and press OK.
RELD: <##> - Number of reloads available for each player. Each reload gives you 10 additional tags. This value can be anywhere from 0 to 99, or unlimited (UL). MEGA: <##> - Number of Mega-Tags available for each player. This value can be anywhere from 0 (no Mega-Tags allowed) to 99, or unlimited (UL), but can never be greater than the total number of tags. SHLD: <##> - Total seconds of shield time available for each player. This value can be anywhere from 0 (no shield time allowed) to 99 seconds. TAGS: <##> - Number of Tags each player can take until they are tagged out. This can be any number from 1 to 99.
5. Program the functions for the game using the INC. and
DEC. buttons to increase or decrease the value or to switch between Y and N. You can also hold down the 2ndF button and press INC. or DEC. to increase or decrease the value by 10. If you want to select UL, it is located just below 00 and just above 99. Once you have adjusted each value to your desired amount, press OK to select that value and move on to the next option to be adjusted. If you need to go back and change something, you can press CANCEL to back-up through the options until you get to the one that you want to change. All the other options that you have already set will remain programmed, so you can simply press OK to skip over them.

player and their team did in the game. If a player is slow getting to the Debriefing, the TAG MASTER can temporarily skip over him by pressing OK to move on to the next Player TAGGER to be debriefed. The TAG MASTER will eventually come back to the skipped TAGGER automatically and debrief it. If a player has quit the game, reset their TAGGER or put their TAGGER to sleep (so that their data cannot be gathered), the TAG MASTER can press CANCEL to drop that player from the game. This should only be done as a last resort, because all tags which that player landed on the other players will count against the other players, but those same other players will not get credit for any tags they landed on the missing player. When the Debriefing is complete, the TAG MASTER will upload the rankings for each player and team to all the TAGGER units automatically. All player LCD screens will display three different options (press DISPLAY to switch between them):
RANK How you and your team placed in the game ID What your player and team numbers are VS Shows a head-to-head comparison of how you did against each of the other players in the game. Use the INC. and DEC. buttons to select which opposing player you want to see data for. Each other player in the game is shown as TxPy (Team X, Player Y on that team), or just P: xx (Player XX) if there were
no teams. Below this are two numbers which show how many times you TAGGED THEM and how many times they TAGGED YOU. If ?? is displayed in the TAGGED THEM section, press OK to request this data from the other players TAGGER.
In addition to these three screens, the Host has an additional screen in which he/she can call up the RANK screen for any player in the game.

ENDING GAMES EARLY

All Hosted games will normally end at the programmed time limit. However, the TAG MASTER can declare an early end to the game by holding 2ndF and pressing OK. The TAG MASTER will then immediately end its own game and begin debriefing any players nearby. All players must then be called to come to the TAG MASTER within 2 minutes, or the TAG MASTER will count them out of the game and they will receive no score so make sure everybody knows that you are calling an early end to the game before you actually call it. Any player who was not yet tagged out at the time the game was called early will be considered to have not been tagged out in the game. In Zone games, such players receive full credit as if they had spent the entire rest of the originally-programmed game time in the zone.

Fully hosted, (requires hosting/joining) and supports post-game debriefing 2 or 3 teams of up to 8 players per team Team Tags (selectable) Yes (Y) or No (N) (default =Y) Medic Mode (selectable) Yes (Y) or No (N) (default =Y) Time 1-99 minutes, (default =15 min) Reloads 0-99 or Unlimited (default =Unlimited) Mega-Tags 0-99 or Unlimited (default =10) Shields 0-99 seconds (default =15) Tags 1-99 (default =20) Ranking is individual and team
- Individual ranks are based on receiving 2 points per tag landed on players from other teams, and losing 1 point for every time youre tagged by a player from another team. Tagging your own teammate (Team Tags) costs you 2 points. Being tagged by your own teammates does not hurt your score. - Team ranks are based on which team has the most players not tagged out when the game ends (this gives an advantage to larger teams, so less-skilled players can be grouped together on a larger team to even things out). In the event of a tie, the TAG MASTER will attempt to break the tie based on the
individual scores of the players on each team who did not get tagged out this rewards the team with the more aggressive players that land more tags. Just hiding or trying to not get tagged may cost your team valuable points that could affect your teams ranking.
5. HIDE AND SEEK (HDSK) The object of this game is to score as many tags as possible on the other team while seeking them, and avoid taking tags while hiding from them. [TAG06] Players are divided into two teams. At any given time, one team is seeking while the other team is hiding. The teams switch between seeking and hiding every 60 seconds. When the switch happens, each TAGGER will then display HIDE or SEEK for 5 seconds to tell the player which mode they are in. When a seeking player tags a hiding player it scores points for the seeking player and his/her team. If a hiding player tags a seeking player, it helps the seeking player by giving him/her one more tag he/she can take until he/she is tagged out. Game features are:
Fully hosted, (requires hosting/joining) and supports post-game debriefing 2 teams of up to 8 players per team Team Tags (selectable) Yes (Y) or No (N) (default =Y) Medic Mode (selectable) Yes (Y) or No (N) (default =Y) Time 2-98 minutes (minutes in multiples of 2), (default =10 min)

Reloads 0-99 or Unlimited (default =5) Mega-Tags 0-99 or Unlimited (default =15) Shields 0-99 seconds (default =30) Tags 1-99 (default =25) Ranking is individual and team
- Individual ranks are based on receiving 2 points per tag landed on players from other teams, and losing 1 point for every time youre tagged by a player from another team. Tagging your own teammate (Team Tags) costs you 2 points. Being tagged by your own teammates does not hurt your score. - Team ranks are based on the total scores of all players on the team. This gives a slight advantage to larger teams. In the event of a tie, the TAG MASTER will attempt to break the tie based on the scores of only those players who were not tagged out at the end of the game.

Game features are:

Fully hosted (requires hosting/joining) and supports post-game debriefing 3 Teams. Up to 8 players on each team Team Tags (selectable) Yes (Y) or No (N) (default = Y) Medic Mode (selectable) Yes (Y) or No (N) (default = Y) Time 2 - 98 minutes (minutes in multiples of 2) (default = 10 min) Reloads 0 - 99 or Unlimited (default = 5) Mega-Tags 0 - 99 or Unlimited (default = 15) Shields 0 - 99 seconds (default = 30) Tags 1 - 99 (default = 25) Ranking is individual and team
- Individual ranks are based on receiving 2 points per tag landed on hiding players while you are hunting them, and losing 1 point for every time youre tagged by a hunting player while you are hiding from them. Tagging your own teammate (Team Tags) counts as 2 points against you. Being tagged by your own teammates does not hurt your score. - Team ranks are based on the total scores of all players on the team. This gives a slight advantage to larger teams. In the event of a tie, the TAG MASTER will attempt to break the tie based on the scores of only those players who were not tagged out at the end of the game.
6. HUNT THE PREY (HUNT) The object of this game is to score as many tags as possible on the other team while seeking them, and avoid taking as many tags as possible while hiding from them. [TAG22] This game is like Hide and Seek, but with the added complexity that players are divided into three teams. At any given time, your team will be hunting one team while hiding from the other team. Every 60 seconds the hunting direction switches so that you must now hide from the team you were just hunting and hunt the team you were just hiding from. All TAGGER units will be alerted just before the switch with a sound effect, and then for 5 seconds after the switch the TAGGER units will display SWAP and the new teams to HUNT and AVOID.

7. 2-KINGS (2KNG) AND 8. 3-KINGS (3KNG) The object of these games is to tag out the opposing teams King while protecting your own King.
The Kings on any of the teams are not known to the other teams, the only clue is that the Kings TAGGER will not send out an IFF signal. This prevents enemy players from sniffing for his IFF signal, but also makes it easier for them to determine that he is in fact the King once they do find him. These games may require individual players to sacrifice their own individual ranking for the greater good of the team, this is the nature of the gameprotect your King even if it means being tagged out. [TAG61] The TAG MASTER is always the King of Team 1, and the first player to join each of the other teams is the King of that team. The Kings are fully capable of tagging other players (including other Kings) and defending themselves by raising shields. The Kings cannot request or receive Medic Mode assistance. Game features are:
Fully hosted (requires hosting/joining) and supports post-game debriefing 2 or 3 Teams. Up to 8 players on each team Team Tags (selectable) Yes (Y) or No (N) (default = Y) Medic Mode (selectable) - Yes (Y) or No (N) (default = Y) Time 1 - 99 minutes (default = 15 min for 2-KINGS, and 30 min for 3-KINGS) Reloads 0 - 99 or Unlimited (default = 20) Mega-Tags 0 - 99 or Unlimited (default = 00) Shields 0 - 99 seconds (default = 30)
Tags 1 - 99 (default = 15) Ranking is individual and team
- Individual ranks are based on the number of tags you have landed on the other Kings. Tagging your own King counts as 4 points against you. If your King is tagged out before the game ends, you will rank last. - Team ranks are based on how long each King lasted before being tagged out. If more than one king lasts until the end of the game, the team whose King took the fewest tags wins.

ZONE GAMES

In Zone games the TAGGER MASTER TAGGER becomes the Zone TAGGER. The Zone TAGGER does not participate in the game as a player although it still performs all set-up and programming functions and performs the debriefing at the end of the game. The Zone TAGGER creates the Zone by generating a 360 infrared light field using its Receiver Dome. The Zone TAGGER should always be stationary during a game and positioned on a stable surface with the Receiver Dome pointing straight up and level with the ground. The Zone TAGGER should be located in a place so that the Zone can fill a large area, without obstructions that may create dead spots within the Zone. All TAGGER units in the game sense the Zone using their Receiver Domes. TAGGER units accumulate Zone Time whenever they can sense the Zone. Multiple players may be in the Zone at the same time.

A player may remain in the Zone as long as he/she is not Neutralized. When a player takes a Tag from any other player, whether he/she is in the Zone or not, the tagged
NOTE: You will still accumulate Zone time if you are in the Zone with your shields raised. You will NOT accumulate Zone time however, if you are neutralized with your shields raised and are in the Zone. 9. OWN THE ZONE (OWNZ) The object of the game is to accumulate as much Zone Time as possible. Own the Zone is a strategic individual game where all players are opponents. Players should focus on getting into and staying in the Zone as long as possible without getting tagged, rather than attacking the opponents. The player with the most Zone Time wins the game. It should be noted that multiple players can be in the Zone at the same time, as long as they can avoid getting tagged. Game features are:
Fully hosted (requires hosting/joining) and supports post-game debriefing 2-24 players No Teams. All players are opponents Time 1 - 99 minutes, (default = 10 min) Reloads 0 - 99 or Unlimited (default = 15) Mega-Tags 0 - 99 or Unlimited, (default = 0) Shields 0 - 99 seconds (default = 45) Tags 1 - 99 (default = 10)

10-20 ft.

player becomes Neutralized for 15 seconds. The neutralized TAGGER will display NEUT with a fifteen-second countdown. A neutralized player cannot tag other players, be tagged by other players, raise shields or add Mega-Tag power. A neutralized player must leave the Zone within 5 seconds of being tagged and remain completely out of the Zone while neutralized. If a player stays in the Zone or returns to the Zone while neutralized, the Zone will become Hostile to that player. A Hostile Zone will cause a player to take multiple tags from the Zone at a pace fast enough to be completely tagged out of the game within just a few seconds.
Ranking is individual only
- Individual ranks are based only on the players accumulated Zone Time.
10. 2-TEAMS OWN THE ZONE (2TOZ) AND 11. 3-TEAMS OWN THE ZONE (3TOZ) The object of the game is to accumulate as much collective Zone Time as possible for the whole team. These two games are played in the same way as the Individual game of Own the Zone except that the players are divided into teams. A good team strategy, once a zone is controlled, is to have one player designated as the Zone Keeper. This player tries to stay in the zone at all times collecting as much Zone time as possible. The team should also position one or two defenders inside the zone ready to defend it against incoming hostile players. Finally, two or three guards could stay outside the Zone, preventing hostile players from getting close enough to attack the Zone and their teammates inside the Zone. These guards should also attempt to control a safe area so that teammates that are tagged and neutralized (and that must leave the Zone) will have a safe place to go while deneutralizing. When the Zone Keeper or a defender gets tagged, a guard will need to move into the zone to take his place while the tagged player waits to be deneutralized. Fluidity, teamwork and coordination are the winning strategies in these games

as players on a team move in and out of the Zone, protecting the Zone, protecting each other and tagging all opponents who attempt to overtake the Zone. Game features are:
Fully hosted, (requires hosting/joining) and supports post-game debriefing 2 or 3 Teams. Up to 8 players on each team Team Tags Yes (Y) or No (N) (default = Y) Time 1 - 99 minutes, (default = 15 min for 2-TEAMS OWN THE ZONE, and 20 min for 3-TEAMS OWN THE ZONE) Reloads 0 - 99 or Unlimited (default = 15) Mega-Tags 0 - 99 or Unlimited, (default = 0) Shields 0 - 99 seconds (default = 45) Tags 1 - 99 (default = 10) Score ranking is Individual and Team
- Individual Ranking is based on total Zone time each individual player accumulates. - Team Ranking is based on total Zone time of all players on a team as a group.
It is recommended that the Team Tags option be left to N (No) for team Zone games, as any ricochets or reflections inside the Zone (especially when playing indoors) may cause you to accidentally tag everyone on your entire team with a single badly aimed tag and force them all to leave the Zone. On the other hand, having Team Tags set to Y (Yes) makes for a very challenging game!
