TAG, YOU’RE IT! The History of World Chase Tag Although tag is best known as a popular children’s game, it’s also a competitive sport. The game combines tag and parkour to create a unique and exhilarating experience for competitors and viewers. But how did this sport come to be, and how do you play it? Let’s find out. It all started in 2012. After playing a game of tag with his son, Christian Devaux started thinking about how he could make this simple and well-loved children’s game into a competitive sport. Devaux told his brother, Damien, about his idea, and the brothers began devising rules to turn the game into a team sport. In 2013, the Devaux brothers began organizing meet-ups for people to play competitive tag, which was a huge success. It quickly gained popularity among parkour athletes and ninja warrior competitors, leading to international competitions. Today, World Chase Tag has gained tons of interest worldwide, with many parkour gyms and clubs creating their own teams. In addition, the national, continental, and world championships are now broadcast on ESPN2. How do you play? The basics of the team game are still simple: Players chase their opponents and try to tag them. But you must follow a few rules. Two teams compete against each other, with six players on each team. Every match, or chase, is 20 seconds long and consists of one player from each team — the chaser and evader. If the chaser, the one trying to tag the evader, fails to tag their opponent in 20 seconds, the evader’s team gets the point. Each team alternates chasing and evading. Whoever has the most points in 16 matches wins the game. You can only make tags with your hands, and if you step out of bounds, you lose the match. Sounds easy, right? Well, instead of running on flat surfaces, the chaser and evader are jumping over bars and blocks, sliding under surfaces, and navigating other obstacles as they attempt to get away from their opponent. Who knew a children’s game would gain such popularity in a decade? Did you know this sport existed? We would love to know your thoughts!
