The Importance Of Tagging Bases

A recent Team Tag exercise demonstrated the importance of tagging and destroying the opposing team's bases when it comes to determining the individual and team point scores. A bit of explanatory information: tagging an opposing team member's vest scores anywhere from 50 points to 200 points (determined by which sensor on the vest received the tag). Tagging and destroying an opposing team's base scores 2001 points. So in theory, a vest can tag 10 other vests to score 2000 points, and lose to a vest that tags and destroys 1 base. That just about happened when Napalm (Blue Team) tagged nothing but other vests during this game, and Inferno (Blue Team) tagged and destroyed 2 bases (as well as tagging other vests). Inferno was the individual point winner for the exercise by two points: 11752 to 11750. After the exercise Inferno was overheard laying a little smack talk on Napalm on how to score points. I see an inter-team rivalry brewing!
