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

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.

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 player’s 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.
