Pursuit - How it works

How It Works

Teams: 2 teams, 4 athletes each.

Match: 16 chases per match. Teams take turns as Evaders (runner) and Chasers (tagger).

Goal: Evade the Chaser for 20 seconds to earn 1 point.

Chase Rules

Chase Time: 20 seconds per chase.

Rest: 25 seconds between chases.

Scoring: 1 point for each successful evasion (no tag).

Tagging: Use hands only—no feet.

Boundaries: Going out of bounds = loss of chase and 1 point to the other team.

Winner: Team with the most points after 16 chases wins.

Event Format – 2-Day Competition

Day 1: Qualifying rounds to determine top teams.
Day 2: Quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.

Podium Finishers
