What is super raid in kabaddi?

Standard style – A kabaddi court at the 2006 Asian Games In the international team version of kabaddi, two teams of seven members each occupy opposite halves of a court of 10 by 13 metres (33 ft × 43 ft) in case of men and 8 by 12 metres (26 ft × 39 ft) in case of women.

• Each has five supplementary players held in reserve for substitution.
• The game is played with 20-minute halves with a 5-minute half time break in which the teams exchange sides.
• During each play, known as a “raid”, a player from the attacking side, known as the “raider”, runs into the opposing team’s side of the court and attempts to tag as many of the seven defending players as possible.

The raider must cross the baulk line into the defending team’s territory, and then return to their half of the field without being tackled. (If an attacker touches a defender and hasn’t yet reached the baulk line, they do not need to reach the baulk line to score points and may return to their half of the court.) While raiding, the raider must loudly chant kabaddi, confirming to referees that their raid is done on a single breath without inhaling.

• Each raid has a 30-second time limit.
• A point is scored for each defender tagged; tags can be made with the raider’s hand or foot.
• If the raider steps beyond the bonus line marked in the defending team’s territory when there are five or more players, they earn an additional point known as a bonus point.

If the raider is successfully stopped (tackled), the opposite team earns a point instead. All players tagged are taken out of the game, but one is “revived” for each point a team scores from a subsequent tag or tackle. Bonus points do not revive players.
