  • If tagged, Attacker must then stand arms out until they are freed by another player by running under their arm (front to back) who then picks up the tag and returns it to the freed attacker.
  • If Tag is removed then defenders must hold Tag above their heads to demonstrate a successful Tag tackle and place Tag at the feet of the Tag tackled attacker.
