Enable an AI agent to recognise kabaddi play, reconstruct its competitive state and determine permitted next actions under the applicable rules.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Enable an AI agent to recognise kabaddi play, reconstruct its competitive state and determine permitted next actions under the applicable rules.
Kabaddi is a contact team sport in which a raider from one side enters the opponents' half, tags as many defenders as possible, and returns to the mid-line within a single held breath while chanting the game's name, while the defending team tries to tackle and hold the raider.
It can be Classify observed play against a declared kabaddi style and identify missing rule information.; Reconstruct a raid from entry, contact, position, timing and return evidence.; Determine eligible raiders, defenders, revivals and substitutions from the current state.; Calculate provisional points and participation changes with an explicit rule basis.; Compare available raid and defence actions using score, time and player availability.; Flag disputed outcomes and reconcile downstream state after an authorised correction..
Distinguishing features
Look for alternating team raids in which an individual enters opposing territory and attempts to return after engaging defenders; this distinguishes the activity from continuous pursuit games. Reference: [Pro Kabaddi gameplay explanation](https://www.prokabaddi.com/features/understanding-the-game-of-kabaddi).
Look for scoring linked to raider touches and return, or defenders preventing return, rather than transporting a ball or scoring a goal. Reference: [Pro Kabaddi gameplay explanation](https://www.prokabaddi.com/features/understanding-the-game-of-kabaddi).
Treat tackles as events within a territorial raid whose return conditions decide the outcome, rather than assuming wrestling-style victory conditions. Reference: [Pro Kabaddi gameplay explanation](https://www.prokabaddi.com/features/understanding-the-game-of-kabaddi).
Check the declared style for cant, timing and elimination or revival rules; do not make one league's implementation a universal recognition requirement.

Characteristics
- Applicable kabaddi rule profile
- Style, governing authority, competition, edition and local amendments Determines which raid, court, scoring and participation rules may be applied.
- Match phase
- Pre-play, active period, interval, stoppage, tie resolution, completed or abandoned Determines whether a raid may start and whether the result is final.
- Current raid assignment
- Raiding team, individual raider, defending team and raid sequence Identifies whose actions and outcomes are being evaluated.
- Raid progress
- Awaiting entry, active, return attempted, ended or awaiting adjudication Separates ongoing action from a settled raid outcome.
- Raid elapsed time
- Seconds, with clock status and applicable limit; unknown or not applicable allowed Supports time-limit decisions without assuming every style uses the same clock.
- Cant compliance
- Compliant, infringement observed, disputed, unknown or not required Records an independent raid-validity condition where the selected rules require cant.
- Court-relative position
- Participant and relevant body contact relative to named lines, zones and boundaries Supports entry, return, line-crossing and out-of-bounds decisions.
- Participant availability
- On court, out awaiting revival, substitute, temporarily suspended, disqualified or unavailable Determines who may raid, defend, re-enter or be replaced.
- Defenders currently on court
- Count of eligible participating defenders at the rule-relevant instant May affect bonus eligibility, tackle awards and tactical choices.
- Awarded score
- Points per team, separated by award reason and provisional or confirmed status Prevents a scoreboard total from obscuring different participation consequences.
- Revival order
- Ordered eligible out players by team, or not applicable Supports rule-correct re-entry after qualifying awards.
- Consecutive empty raids
- Count per team under the selected definition of an empty raid Determines whether a mandatory-scoring raid condition applies.

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 6 bundles · 11 layers · 18 findings · 28 questions.
Kabaddi rule identity Establish which form of kabaddi is being represented and which rules govern this instance.
An agent cannot safely infer raid legality or scoring from the sport name alone.
Style and recognition
Identify the activity through its raid-and-defence structure and declared variant.
Recognition evidence
Record observed mechanics and declared style separately so incomplete footage or an unfamiliar variant does not force an unsupported classification.
- Which observed entry, engagement and return mechanics support recognising this activity as kabaddi? definition
- Which differences belong to a kabaddi variant, and which would indicate a neighbouring activity? boundary
Applicable rule authority
Bind decisions to an identifiable rule edition and any competition amendments.
Rule selection
Record the authority and applicability of court, cant, timing, player-count and scoring provisions before evaluating play.
- Which rulebook edition and amendments govern this match or practice session? provenance
- Which decisions must remain unresolved because the applicable rule or its precedence is unknown? action
Raid execution Represent the sequence and validity of an individual raid.
Kabaddi state advances through raids whose legality depends on ordered events rather than final positions alone.
Entry, cant and clock
Track raid commencement and continuing requirements.
Raid validity window
Record entry, clock operation, cant observations and any required penetration of the defending territory without assuming universal thresholds.
- What event starts this raid, and which timing, cant and line-crossing conditions must the raider satisfy? definition
- What elapsed time and cant evidence are available, and what remains unobserved? measurement
Contact and return
Represent engagement with defenders and the event that ends the raid.
Raid event sequence
Distinguish attempted touches, observed contacts, defensive restraint, return evidence and the official outcome.
- Which defenders contacted the raider, in what order, and what evidence establishes each contact? measurement
- Did the applicable return, capture, expiry or infringement condition end the raid, and which event takes precedence? boundary
Court and playing strength Represent the spatial and participant conditions under which a raid occurs.
The same movement can have different consequences depending on active court zones and available defenders.
Lines and active zones
Interpret the actual playing surface using the selected style's markings.
Spatial legality
Record relevant midline, baulk, bonus, lobby or variant-specific boundary relationships only where the rule profile defines them.
- Which markings and dimensions apply, and how does body or ground contact establish crossing or return? definition
- Does a contact event change which zones are legal, and which participant crossed a boundary before or after that change? boundary
Available raiders and defenders
Identify who may participate and the defensive arrangement confronting the raider.
Participation and formation
Separate roster membership, current eligibility and observed defensive positions or chains.
- Who is eligible to raid or defend now, and how many defenders are present at each rule-relevant instant? measurement
- Which raid selection, defensive repositioning or substitution actions are permitted before play resumes? action
Points, outs and revivals Connect raid outcomes to score and playing-strength transitions.
Point awards and player returns must be evaluated separately; a score increment does not establish its revival effect.
Award classification
Determine the reason and magnitude of each award.
Score components
Separate touch, tackle, bonus and exceptional awards. PKL's explanation distinguishes bonus and super-tackle points from revival entitlement; verify applicability before using those distinctions. Reference: [Pro Kabaddi scoring explanation](https://www.prokabaddi.com/features/understanding-the-game-of-kabaddi).
- Which observed conditions justify each point award under the selected rule profile? definition
- Which score components are confirmed, provisional or disputed, and what decision supports each? provenance
Elimination and restoration
Apply out, revival and all-out consequences in the required order.
Playing-strength transition
Record who goes out, who becomes eligible to return and whether a team-wide reset applies, without treating suspension as ordinary elimination.
- Which players leave or return after this outcome, and what rule determines their order and re-entry timing? action
- When does an all-out occur, and how do simultaneous awards or exceptional player absences affect its resolution? boundary
Match control and decisions Determine whether another raid may occur and how unresolved rulings affect continued play.
An agent needs match context and adjudication status to avoid advancing from an invalid or provisional raid state.
Raid sequence and match ending
Track turn assignment, empty-raid history, periods and result conditions.
Next raid obligations
Record the next raiding side and any mandatory-scoring condition, alongside period expiry and tie-resolution rules.
- Which team raids next, and does its recent raid history impose a mandatory-scoring condition? action
- How does period expiry affect an active raid, and what conditions end the match or trigger tie resolution? boundary
Stoppages and adjudication
Represent infringements, interruptions and authoritative corrections.
Decision and resumption
Keep observed conduct, the official ruling, review status and resulting resumption state distinguishable.
- Which kabaddi contact, boundary, cant or participation infringement was ruled, by whom and on what evidence? provenance
- After a stoppage or overturned ruling, which clocks, points, out players, revival order and raid assignment must be restored before resumption? action
