Rules of Kho-Kho
According to the rules and regulations of Kho-Kho, each of the participating teams consists of twelve players, though only nine players take the field for a contest.
There are two innings in a match and an innings consists of chasing and running turns of 7 minutes each. One player of the chasing team play the role of an active chaser and the remaining eight members of the team sit in their eight squares on the central lane, alternately facing the opposite direction. The active chaser stands at either of the posts and gets ready to begin the pursuit. It is mandatory for the members of the chasing team to put their opponent out by touching them with their palms and without committing a foul. The defenders are actually the main active players in the game of Kho-Kho, as they try to play out the 7 minutes time, and the chasers keep on trying to dismiss them. In Kho-Kho, there are three ways through which a defender can be dismissed; 1) if an active chaser touches him with his palm without committing a foul, 2) if the defender goes out of the limits on his own or 3) if the defender enters the limit late.
Usually, the defenders enter the limit, in batches of three and after the third and last defender of batch is out, the next batch has to enter the limits, before a `kho` is given by the successful active chaser. The defenders are allowed to move on both sides of the central lane, however, the active chaser does not have the permission to change the direction to which he is committed. He is also not allowed to cross the central lane. An active chaser can only change his position with a seated chaser, by touching him from behind by palm, and uttering the word `kho` loudly. A chase or attack is also build up simultaneously through a series of `khos` as the chase continues with a relay of chasers. There is an interval of 5 minutes at the end of each of the innings and there is also a break of 2 minutes in between the turns. Each of the sides alternates their positions between chasing and defence.
