Last month the UK Armageddon 2009 Multi-System Laser Tag Tournament the third in its series, was held between Friday 14th & Sunday 16th of August 2009, with four teams of eight players, from different laser tag equipment centres taking part. The multi-system tournament which was spread across six different laser tag centres within England, with a different laser tag system at each centre.

The Armageddon laser tag tournament is a competition designed to prove who is the best laser tag team, by intentionally spreading the high-endurance competition over different laser equipment, so that the winning teams are the better teams overall.

The overall winning team is decided by a points reward system, where by one point is rewarded to a team for winning the game, or 1 point deduction for losing a game, with no points gained or lost for team draws. All the points from the different stages are then combined to produce an overall team ranking, with the team with the most points ranked from the top downwards.

The Megazone Laser Tag stage of the tournament was held at the Huddersfield Laser Zone centre, which has the System T Infusion Zone Laser Tag equipment installed. Other sites which held the different stages in the multi-system competition were: Adventure sports Abridge (Outdoors), DarkLight Birmingham (V5), LaserForce Peterborough (Gen 6), LaserQuest Sudbury (LQX) & Quasar Huddersfield.

The overall winning team rankings were:

Megazone Technologies Ltd which was once located in the same building as the Megazone Leicester laser tag centre, was replaced in 2007 with Zone EU which is short for Zone Europe, and is the Europe branch of P&C Micros in Australia, who manufacture the Zone Laser Games equipment.

In early 2007 P&C Micros officially released there System NexusFEC, a mid-range product from there Nexus Generation of laser tag equipment, which is designed for intended use by multi-attraction facilities.

The NexusFEC laser tag equipment is a twenty-first century release, which takes advantage of surface mount electronics construction technology, creating a more compact & slim design than previous zone laser tag equipment. The equipment comes complete with brighter, true colour LEDs for increased visibility & colour density, which can produce nearly seventeen million colour variations, and an increased number of vibrators for increased feedback felt by the player.

The equipment has a new sturdy vest, which can be unclipped at the front like a life jacket, along with the standard clips on the sides, which can be tightened. The sensors & electronics installed on the vest are now more compact, making height of the new transparent plastics installed on the outside of the vest less raised, and less likely to be caught on corners or edges.

The phasor has been completely re-designed, and contains a new type of LCD screen, the ibutton reader, the rubber phasor nozzle, and the two hand safety feature, housed in a new transparent plastic case design.

The same as the Infusion laser tag equipment, the NexusFEC equipment is radio based, and is equipped with high speed communication hardware, which combined with advanced software allow for real time changes & monitoring.

As the NexusFEC model is the mid-range version from the Nexus Generation of laser tag equipment, there is a reduced number of game formats than the previous high-range Infusion equipment. Though NexusFEC does comes complete with the standard formats such as solo, team, elimination, continuous format, base games & two specialist games for corporate groups etc.
