KABBADIThe game involves two teams of seven

players, on a field roughly half the size of a basketball court, and played over two 20-

minute halves. The teams take turns in sending a "raider" across to the opposite

team's half, where the aim is to tag as many opponents as possible before returning to the

home half. Tagged members are then "out" and sent off the field. All the while the raider

must hold his breath — to prove it he must continually chant a word ("kabaddi" in the Indian form of the game, hence the name).

The game can be played by 1 to 14 players Each team comprises of 7 players and 5 substitutes Each player has his own style of play which is to be designed at

the beginning Each team will have a different strategy depending on the players

it will have. We will have keys to select different moves during the course of

the game While serving, the player has to chant “kabaddi” during the entire

course of the serve. We will have a key for that purpose. If the player forgets to press that key the serve will be invalid and the player will be declared out.

We will have home and away matches and crowds chanting a few typical Indian slogans for the home team and against the away team to add an Indian flavor to the game
