PLAYING TBB GAKB The basic game, as it has evolved today, consists of an arena in which two teams (usually a red and a green team) are ~atched up with each person wearing a vest carrying sensors. These sensors are read by a computer connected to a laser tag gun. Each team attempts to protect their home base and capture the other team's home base while at the same time disabling their opponents with directed shots from their laser tag gun. All players signing up to play the game fill out a form disclosing their name, address and phone number for follow up marketing attempts. Additionally, by signing the form the player acknowledges they understand the rules of the ·gam~ and will abide by them in much the same manner as a ski area redùces their exposure to damage claims when you purchase a li~t ticket. The game begins with a briefing, which lasts for approximately 10 minutes. A separate and distinct room is provided for briefings in each center.

The game then commences for what is usually a 15 minute period. During the game points are scored, by each individual and ,each team, for capturing the home base or zapping an opponent with the laser beam. Deductions are made for "zapping members of your own team. Employees, referred to as marshals, staff the game arena while the game is being played to insure that the various game rules are followed. Depending on the number of people playing each game the number of marshals will vary. If necessary, they will eject participants who choose to not follow the rules. When the game ends, the players hang their vests back up on the vesting racks for the next group of players and go out into the front area. In the front-area, individual score cards are developed for each player which shows their team score as well as their own score. It also indicates the number of times each player managed to tag another player with their laser or were scored upon by another player. A scoring system allows competitiveness to develop which
