[2] World Chase Tag was founded in Britain by Christian Devaux in 2012, with his brother Damien joining the organisation the following year.

Each round is contested between one member of each team, with one player as the chaser and their opponent as the evader.

A successful tag results in that player becoming the evader for the next round and no points being awarded.

A successful evasion results in that player's team scoring a point, and the evader retaining that role for the next round.

Ties result in a "sudden-death chase-off", which consists of a pair of rounds with each team chasing in one and evading in the other.
