The game is played with 20-minute halves and a five-minute halftime break during which the teams exchange sides. The teams take turns sending a raider into the other half. To win a point, the raider must take a breath, run into the opposing half, tag one or more members of the opposite team, then return to his home half before inhaling again.{{cite web|url=kabaddiikf/history.htm |title=Welcome to International Kabaddi Federation |publisher=Kabaddiikf |date=2010-04-30 |accessdate=2014-08-16}} The raider will chant kabaddi, kabaddi with his exhaling breath to show the referee he has not inhaled. The raider will be declared out and will not gain the point if he inhales before returning to his side, or returns without touching an opponent. The tagged defender(s) will be out if they do not succeed in catching the raider who tagged them. Wrestling the raider to the ground can prevent him escaping before he needs to inhale. Defenders may not cross the center line (the lobby) of the field and the raider may not cross the boundary lines. However, there is one bonus line which can grant extra points for the raider if he manages to touch it and return successfully. Players who are out are temporarily sent off the field. Each time a player is out, the opposing team earns a point. A team scores a bonus of three points (called a lona), if the entire opposing team is declared out. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins. Matches are categorized based on age and weight. Six officials supervise a match: one [[referee]], two [[umpire]]s, a [[scorer]] and two assistant scorers. ===National=== These forms of Kabaddi are played nationally and all three forms of national style Kabaddi are played in a rectangular box. ====Sanjeevani==== In Sanjeevani kabaddi, one player is revived against one player of the opposite team who is out – one out, one in. The duration, the number of players, dimensions of the court, etc. have been fixed by the Kabaddi Federation of India. This form of kabaddi is the closest to the present game and is also called National Style. In this form of kabaddi, players are put out and revived and the game lasts 40 minutes with a 5-minute break in between. There are nine players on each side. The team that puts out all the players on the opponents side scores four extra points for a Lona. The winning team is the one that scores most points after 40 minutes. The field is bigger in this form of kabaddi and the chant different in various regions. Modern kabaddi resembles this form of kabaddi especially with regard to out and in system and Lona. ====Gaminee==== This is played with seven players on either side, in a field of no specific measurements. The characteristic is that a player put out has to remain out until all his team members are out. The team that is successful in putting out all the players of the opponents side secures a point. This is akin to the present system of Lona. After all the players are put out, the team is revived and the game continues. The game continues until five or seven Lona are secured. This form of kabaddi has no fixed time duration. The main disadvantage of the Gaminee type is that the player is not in position to give his best performance since he is likely to remain out for the better part of the match until a Lona is scored. ====Amar==== Amar resembles the Surjeevani form of kabaddi to an extent, especially in the time frame rule. In this form, a player who is declared out doesn’t leave the court, but instead stays inside, and the play goes along. For every player of the opposition touched ‘out,’ a team earns a point. In the Amar form of Kabaddi, whenever any player is touched (out), he does not go out of the court, but stays inside, and one point is awarded to the team that touched him. This game is also played on a time basis, i.e. the time is fixed. In the Amar form of kabaddi, each team consists of 5-6 stoppers and 4-5 raiders. At one time, only 4 stoppers are allowed to play on the field. Every time a stopper stops the raider from going back to his starting point, that stoppers team gets 1 point. On the other hand, every time the raider tags one of the stoppers and returns to his starting point, his team gets one point. At one time, only one of the stoppers can try to stop the raider. If more than one touch the raider, an automatic point is awarded to the raiders team. If the stopper is pushed out by the raider or vice versa, then the team whose member is still in the field gets a point. If both the raider and the stopper go out, the result is a common point, where nobody gets a point. There is a 30 second time limit for the raider from the moment he leaves until he returns to his starting point. This rule was only recently introduced (1994) after controversy with some raiders abusing the old system where they were able to struggle through a point until they ran out of breath from repeating the word kabaddi. Amar is highly popular in Punjab,sportskeeda/kabaddi/kabaddi-india-origins-success-current-pitiable-state as it incorporates the Punjab Circle Style form of Kabaddi. This form of kabaddi is also played in Canada, England, New Zealand, USA, Pakistan and Australia. ===Punjab Circle Style=== [[File:Kabaddi Match (Bhimber).jpg|thumb|Circle kabaddi variant being played]] In the [[Punjab region]], Kabaddi is played on a circular pitch of a diameter of 22 meters. Local styles of Kabaddi form the regional sport of the [[Punjab region]] and were referred to as Punjabi Kabaddi in [[India]] and [[Pakistan]]. However, with the formation of the states of [[Haryana]] and Punjab in [[India]], the same game was referred to as Punjab Kabaddi and Haryana Kabaddi. This caused confusion and therefore, in 1978, the Amateur Circle Kabaddi Federation of India was formed and the syle of Kabaddi played in the [[Punjab region]] was named Circle Kabaddi.[kabaddicircle/history_of_circle_kabaddi.html Amateur Circle Kabaddi Federation of India] [[Punjabi Kabaddi|Punjab Circle kabaddi]] (also known as diarey wali Kabaddi) incorporates Kabaddi styles of the [[Punjab region]]. A popular style is Goongi Kabaddi (silent Kabaddi) where a raider player does not speak and say the word kabaddi but just touches the opponent’s team player and the whom he touches only that player will try to stop the player. The struggle will continue till he reaches the starting line or acknowledge the defeat and loses a point, or if he safely reaches the starting line, he will get the point.
