KiwiTag
Tag football is a popular alternative outdoor recreational team sport that has competitions running throughout Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Eight players in each team are on the field at anyone time. Players wear shorts with a Velcro patch on each side. A strip of cloth is attached to the Velcro, known as a tag.
The object of the game is to score tries. Defenders prevent this by tagging the ball carrier, removing the tag from the shorts. The attacking team has six plays or tags to score a try. The invention of the tag also prevents phantom calls.
The game is non-contact and the rules are designed to encourage this - you cannot as an attacker run straight at a defender, you must run at the gaps.
