Glossary of kabaddi terms

By PKL rules, two bonus points are scored by the raiding team for an 'all out'.

[a][1] The center is the defender who stands in the middle of the defensive formation, when it has seven players lined up from side of the field to the other.

[2] The lobby areas are extensions of the court on either side of the field perpendicular to the midline.

They are only considered part of the field during each raid once the raider has made contact with a defender.

A struggle is initiated during each raid when contact is first made between the raider and a defender, with the lobbies then becoming part of the field.
