Last updated:  2022 July

Overview

Laser Tag a game that pits one group vs another for a period of time to shoot other players, their guns, and their base to accumulate points.  The groups may consist of one team working independently or combined with one or more other teams to allow for a greater variety of game scenarios to be played.  You won't believe what a workout laser tag is; PRO TIP: work on your cardio. 

Participating players

 Rosters

• You can have as many players as you want on your roster, but the minimum number of players is 4; BSR recommends 5.  (you'll want to make sure you have 4 each week)
• Additional players, including players who register as free agents, can be added to the roster anytime until the third week of the season.
• Captains are responsible for the conduct of teams. This means they’ll need to make sure all players are legal and conform to league play standards.
• Teams caught with illegal players or subs will lose all games for that night.
• If this happens twice, that team will be excluded from the playoffs.
• All players must meet league player requirements. (FAQ - League Information - Player Requirements)
• All players must wear their league tshirts to participate when league tshirts are provided. (FAQ - League Information - What if I paid late and have not received a league tshirt or forget my league tshirt one night?)
• From time to time for various reasons players may become upset and curse, complain, and more.  When this occurs, our staff will respond and take actions from issuing a warning, to taking a time out, up to ejecting a player form the game.  For more info reference our FAQ. (FAQ - League Information - Ejections)
• Team captains can request the referee for a roster check on thier opponents.  The roster check must be requested before the game begins.  Exception: a player who showed up and joined in after the game began, in this case the team captain needs to request the check when that new player first enters the game.
