Question

How many rules in Pro kabaddi?

Answer 1

A player shall be declared out if any part of his body touches outside the court (outside any end line). During struggle, a player shall be declared out only if his entire body is out of the court, and no part of his body is in contact with the court, including the lobby area.
If any player goes out of the end line during the course of play, he shall be declared out. The Umpire or Referee will ensure that the out player is no longer active during the raid. The Umpire or Referee shall declare such players out by calling out the numbers. No whistle shall be blown and raid will continue.
If one or more defenders who have gone out of bounds hold the raider, the raider shall be declared NOT OUT. Only the defenders who have gone out of bounds will be declared out.
When the struggle begins, the court shall include the lobbies during the struggle and after the struggle in the same raid. The players involved in the struggle can use the lobbies to enter their respective side of the court. This rule will only be applicable in the defending teams’ side of half court.
A raider shall continue to chant “KABADDI” as the approved cant. If he is not keeping the proper approved cant in the opponent’s court, he shall be declared out and the opponent will be awarded one point and the chance to raid. Under such circumstances, he shall not be pursued.
A raider must start his cant before he touches the opponent’s side of the half court. If he starts the cant late, he shall be declared out by the Umpire or Referee and the opponent will be awarded one point and the chance to raid.
If a raider goes out of turn, the Umpire or Referee shall order him to go back and a technical point will be given to opponent team and the chance to raid.
Not more than one raider shall enter the opponent’s court at a time, if more than one raider enters the opponent’s court at a time, the Umpire or Referee shall order all to go back to their court and a technical point will be awarded to the opponent and the chance to raid.
After a raider has reached his court, the opponents shall send their raider within 5 seconds. Each side shall continue to send their raider until the end of the game in this fashion. In case the raider fails to start his raid within 5 seconds the team loses its chance to raid and the opponent team is awarded a technical point.
When a struggle takes place in a raid, on completion of such raid, Rule viii (above) will not be applicable. The next raid will start on the whistle of the referee after the out players have been seated in the out box.
If a raider, who is caught by one or more defenders, escapes from their attempt to hold and reaches his court safely, he shall not be pursued.
If a raider, while in the opponent’s court loses his cant, he shall be declared out and the opponent team will be awarded one point and the chance to raid.
When a raider is held, the defenders shall not try deliberately to stifle his cant by shutting his mouth, using violent tackling leading to injuries, any type of scissoring or use of any unfair means. If such an incident happens, the Umpire or Referee shall declare the raider NOT OUT.
No defender shall willfully push the raider out of the boundary by any part of his body, nor shall any raider willfully push or pull a defender out of the boundary. If the raider is pushed outside the boundary or the defender is pushed or pulled outside the boundary, the Umpire or Referee shall declare the raider or the defender, as the case may be, NOT OUT, and the defender or the raider who pushes or pulls the opponents outside the boundary will be declared OUT.
During the course of raid none of the defenders shall touch the raider’s court until completion of the raid. In case one or more defender touches the raiders’ court before completion of the raid they will be declared out and the opponent team will be given that many points.
If one or more defenders’ who are out, having violated Rule xiv, holds a raider or violates the said rule while holding or helping to hold the raider, the raider shall be declared NOT OUT and defenders who touch the raiders’ court shall be declaredOUT.
When a team manages to put out the entire opponent team and none of the opponents are entitled to be revived, then that team scores an ALL-OUT and two extra points for ALL-OUT are awarded in addition to the points scored by the team putting out all the players of the opponent. The play continues and all the players who are out shall enter in their court within 10 Seconds. Otherwise the referee or umpire shall award one technical point to the opponent. If a team fails to enter the court within one minute of the ALL-OUT, then the Referee or Umpire shall award the match to the opponent team.
