WCT

10 rounds total; teams alternate chaser/evader roles each round; Each round: 20 seconds for chaser to tag the evader; If evader survives 20 seconds = 1 point to evader's team

Evader starts in starting position; chaser at opposite corner; "Start" whistle initiates the chase; Both players must remain in the Quad; stepping outside = automatic tag/loss

Athletic apparel: form-fitting kit (no loose clothing that could catch on obstacles); Footwear: indoor parkour/training shoes — grippy soles, non-marking; No protective padding required (standard); some athletes choose wrist supports or shin sleeves

The Quad: 12 m × 12 m WCT-standard arena with 20+ obstacles (walls, vaults, rails, pyramids, ramps); Padded competition floor; padded outer perimeter; Standardized obstacle layout for international competition; minor variations for showcase events

Team format: 6 athletes per team in head-to-head dual; Each round: 1 chaser vs 1 evader (one player per team on-floor); Officials: 1 head referee + 2 corner judges + scoring judge + timekeeper

10 rounds total; teams alternate chaser/evader roles each round; Each round: 20 seconds for chaser to tag the evader; If evader survives 20 seconds = 1 point to evader's team

1 point per evader survival; team with most points after 10 rounds wins; WCT Pro World Tour: round-by-round scoring contributes to season rankings; Annual World Cup awards team trophy + individual MVP

Stepping out of the Quad: automatic loss of round; Excessive force / dangerous play: warning → round loss → DQ; Refusing to engage / time-stalling: warning → round loss

WCT's primary injury risks are sprains/strains from rapid direction changes, falls from obstacles, and occasional collisions. Quad obstacles are padded; flooring is shock-absorbent.

Chaser-to-evader physical contact with hand or body = tag; Multiple judges + video review confirm tags in close calls
