There will be a coin flip at the beginning of a Kabaddi game. The winner of
a coin flip decides whether to have the first raid or not.
There will be two referees on the field
The team that gets to “raid” first has to send a raider across the line.
To win a point when raiding, the raider must chant the word ‘Kabaddi’
throughout the raid. He must begin his chant of ‘Kabaddi’ before entering
the opposition’s half and crossing the midline. The raider shall continue to
do so until he returns to his half. Once into the rivals’ half, the raider also
must cross his foot over the balkline to make the raid legal. If he fails to
do so, then the referee shall declare the raider out.
If he is not keeping the proper approved chant in the opponent’s court, he
shall be ordered back and the opponent will be given one technical point
and chance to raid.
Each member of a team must raid in sequence if a team member raids out of
order, the opposing team gets one point.
The team being raided is defending, and the players must prevent the
raiders from tagging them and returning back over the halfway line. Empty
raids are the ones in which the raider returns to his court without earning
any points.
Raiders may only be grabbed by their limbs or torso, not by their hair,
clothes or anywhere else, and defenders are not permitted to cross the
center line.
The two teams alternate between raiding and defending for two halves of
twenty minutes each (with a five-minute break between halves.)
Each team will take turns in raiding and defending. Following halftime, the
two teams switch sides of the court and the team who defended first in the
first half begin the second half by raiding.
The game continues in this way until the time is up, the team with the most
points at the end of the match is declared the winner.
A player shall be out if any part of his body touches the ground outside the
boundary but during the struggle a player shall not be out if any part of his
body touches the ground outside the boundary by keeping contact of the
playfield. The portion of contact must be inside the boundary.
Struggle means when one of more defenders comes into contact with the
raider. The lobbies are counted as part of the court when the raider touches
someone or there is a struggle.
When is a player out?

If the raider tags any defending players and makes it back to his side, the
players he tagged are out. If a raider is captured and cannot pass back over
the midline before he runs out of breath, he is out. If any player (raiding or
defending) steps outside the boundary lines, he is out (unless he was
deliberately pulled or shoved, in which case, the offending player is out.)
After two successive empty raids, the attacking teams have to make a “do-or-
die” raid, where if they fail to score a point, the defending team earns a point
If a defending team member enters the raider's side of the court before his
team is officially given the chance to raid, he is out.
Revive players by getting an opponent out. Whenever your team gets a
member of the opponent team out, you have a chance to bring back (or
"revive") someone on your team who has previously been ruled out. This is
true for both raiding and defending teams. Players are revived in the order
they were gotten out, bringing back players out of order results in a point for
the other team
Penalty Points:
The raid is over and the defending team receives a point plus the opportunity
to raid if a raider speaks anything other than the pre-approved "Kabaddi"
chant while he is raiding (but the raider is not out.)
If the raider begins his chant after crossing the midline, the raid is over, and
the defensive team receives a point and the opportunity to raid (the raider is
not out.)
The raid is ended and the defending team scores a point if a raider leaves
their assigned order. When multiple raiders simultaneously reach the
opposing team's court, the raid is called off, and the defending team scores a
point.
Players are revived in the order they were gotten out, bringing back players
out of order results in a point for the other team.
If any defenders enter the raider's side of the court before it is their turn to
raid, each defender that does so earns a point for the other team. If the
raider's teammates attempt to help him by calling out warnings or advice, the
defending team gets a point
Possible ways of scoring a point while raiding in kabaddi:

If the raider touches a player of the opponent team, he will be awarded a
point
If a raider crosses the bonus line with the other leg not on the ground, then he
will be awarded with a bonus
Possible ways of scoring a point while defending in kabaddi:
If the players, during the raid were able to defend the raider and tackle him
then a point will be awarded to the defense team
If there are 3 or less players on the mat and there is a tackle then it is called
as a super tackle and the defense team gets two points
In case of tie in points the following will the order of preference:

(a.) Goal Difference, (b.) Goals Scored. (c.) Fair Play record.
oAll decisions taken by the referee will be final and binding on the players; Any
arguing with the referee can lead to a card being awarded.
