Team Composition:

Each team consists of 12 players, but only 7 can play on the field at a time.

Match Duration:

A match is divided into two halves, each lasting 20 minutes, with a 5-minute halftime break.

Raiding Rules:

The raider must chant "kabaddi" continuously while attempting to tag opponents and must return to their half without inhaling.

Scoring Points:

Points are scored by tagging opponents or successfully defending against a raider; one point is awarded for each player tagged.

Out of Bounds:

Players are out if they step outside the boundary lines or into the lobby areas before making contact with the raider.

Revival Mechanism:

Tagged players can return to the game if their team scores points during subsequent raids.

Winning the Match:

The team with the most points at the end of the match wins; if tied, a mini-match or sudden-death raid may determine the winner.
