4. The removed tag is dropped on the ground.
5. Players with or without a ball can attempt to remove a
tag from opposing players (no physical contact allowed).
6. Players may not protect their tags from being removed.
A player who loses two tags — either by being hit with a
ball and/or having a tag removed by an opposing player
— will be required to collect two tags from the ground
and go to the side of the playing area for a set time (count
aloud to 30 by ‘one and two and three’) before putting on
his or her tags again and rejoining the game.
