League results
The higher score wins. The supplied league system awards 2 competition points for a win, 0 for a loss and 1 each for a draw. Organisers may change the league system with prior IKF approval.
Knockout ties
A tied knockout match uses 5 alternating raids per team by different named raiders, with special baulk-line scoring and no out or revival. If still tied, a fresh toss chooses the first golden-raiding team. The opponent raids only if still tied; if that does not resolve it, the source specifies a toss.
Independent explanations and translations, not official federation publications. This guide explains standard team kabaddi using the supplied IKF rules. Teams alternate attacking raids and defensive tackles; it does not automatically apply the additional regulations of a professional league. A raider enters the opposing half, tries to touch defenders and returns safely while maintaining the prescribed chant. Defenders try to prevent that return without using prohibited holds.
