What is a Tag Competition?

Teams

• Each team has 3–5 players.
• Every player takes a turn as both chaser and evader.
• If a team has fewer than 5 players, some will compete more than once in each role.

Gameplay

• One player from each team enters the arena:
  • one as chaser
  • one as evader
• The game continues until every team member has played both roles.

Rounds

• One round consists of 5 × 20-second chases.
• If the chaser fails to tag the evader within 20 seconds → the evader’s team scores one point.
• If the chaser succeeds → the chaser’s team scores one point.

Arena

• Size: 9 m × 9 m
• Filled with various parkour-style obstacles.
• Players use techniques such as running, jumps, vaults, and dodges to navigate the course.
