The game in 30 seconds
Seven a side. One raider at a time, holding a single breath and chanting "kabaddi", crosses into enemy territory to tag and escape. Simple to follow, impossible to stop watching.

Touch & tackle
Every defender tagged is a point to the raider. Stop the raider and the defence scores.
+2
All out
Send every opponent off the mat and earn two extra points as the whole team is revived.
≤3
Super tackle
Three or fewer defenders bring the raider down? That's a bonus point for bravery.
