Actual reality has several methods of reporting scores mid-game;
the monitor, the scoreboards, and the LCD. However each suffers from its
own restrictions.
The gun has the odd habit of sometimes returning impossible number of hits for
the game. This can be detected so long as every one at least looks a there
scorecards. Further the LCD only returns confirmed hits.
At the end of the game during downloading each pack returns its information, how
many times its been hit, number of shots, etc.
Lastly please remember the scoreboards may not be accurate, however the
final scores are what the scorecards says
The following things can cause an update
Being shot
sometimes the number of hits against the player that tagged you will be
updated.
Interfacing or getting close to a box
this includes shooting a base, getting energy, going near a down loader or
recharging station This is not a guaranteed method for an update, however this is a possible way to
update the scores.
