then press the OK button and the TAG MASTER will assign
you to the team with the fewest players, in order to keep the
teams even.
NOTE: The team you are assigned to may be different from
the team you requested. The TAG MASTER will attempt to
honor all team requests, but it cannot assign more than 8
players to any given team. Players should discuss who will be
on which team, before game is set up by the TAG MASTER.
6. When the Joiner enters the game the LCD screen will display
“IN!” as well as your Team and Player number.
7. Once all players have joined a team and game, the TAG
MASTER will enter the T-Minus countdown screen. It is VERY
IMPORTANT that you remain near the TAG MASTER until
your own LCD begins displaying the T-Minus countdown. If
you wander away from the TAG MASTER before your T-minus
screen starts, your TAGGER will prompt you to “FIND HOST”.
If you do not return to the vicinity of the TAG MASTER within
60 seconds, you will be dropped from the game and your LCD

END OF GAME DEBRIEFING AND SCORING
The game ends and the debriefing process begins when the
game timer runs out. If you are tagged out before the game
ends, your TAGGER will continuously display “WAIT FOR GAME
OVER” alternating with the time left until the game ends.
When the game ends, your TAGGER will display “GAME OVER”
and then constantly prompt you to “FIND HOST.” You now have
2 minutes to return your TAGGER to the TAG MASTER in order
to be debriefed. You must then remain within 10 feet of the
TAG MASTER until the Debriefing process is complete in order
to receive your ranking. Because of the 2-minute time limit
for returning to the TAG MASTER, all players should reach an
agreement before the game starts about where they will meet
for the debriefing, so that there is no confusion.
During the debriefing process, the TAG MASTER’s screen will
prompt the TAG MASTER to “FIND” each of the other players in
turn, waiting approximately 3 seconds to contact each of the
Player TAGGER units. If that Player TAGGER is present, the TAG
MASTER will automatically download all the score information
from that Player TAGGER and will use it to calculate how that
countdown reaches “T-00” the game will start automatically,
and will run for the selected number of minutes.
