A high-end outdoor lasertag picnic party for the tech community, .comWars is a battle for the supremacy of Silicon Valley! Eight teams of up to 10 players each will combat each other playing 14-minute outdoor lasertag games of domination. Games will take place in a gorgeous 12-acre old-growth redwood grove in Loma Mar, about a 45 minute drive from Palo Alto. Lasertag is a team sport that is easy to learn and loads of fun to play. No experience is necessary. Anyone can register alone or with a group. Dotcomwars is fun afternoon lasertag picnic party for those who live and love technology.
When:
Memorial Day, Monday, May 27th 2013, 1pm - 6:30pm
The Equipment:
Lasertag:
You'll be playing on some of the best performing outdoor lasertag equipment in the world, provided by www.specopsliveplay.com. These Battlefieldsports lasertag guns have targeting scopes and can register hits over 1000' away with a radio based hit-confirmation telling you when you've scored a hit. We'll have a variety of pistols, carbines, and rifles to choose from.
Radio Headsets:
Each player will be issued a two-way radio headset to talk to your teammates and to allow you to hear game sound FX so you know exactly what's going on.
The Experience:
In .comWars4, everyone will experience a 10-minute training course, followed by four 14-minute games of domination throughout the afternoon. The objective is for your team to score the most time by controlling three different domination nodes spread over the field. The terrain is very large - over 12 acres of old growth redwoods. We've rented two large group campsites for this event. You’re going to have your opponents shooting at you as you attempt to take their team's node away from them. You’re going to hear your teammates scream for help over your radio headset. By the end of this party you’ll be exhausted and exhilarated. It will be the most fun you’ve had in a long time! No lasertag experience necessary. .comWars4 is a lasertag picnic party for anyone who lives and loves technology.
