Langdi's Ground Rules Langdi is a team sport played by two teams of 12 players each, plus three extra players. The team that wins the coin toss is in charge of defense. The chasing team sends chasers who try to tag the defenders by jumping on one foot. As long as the chasers stay on one foot, they can step off the ground. A defender is tagged if he or she steps off the ground with the foot that has been jumped on. The aim is to be the first team to get all your players tagged out. However, if the chasers cause a player to fall too often then the defending team will use their right to kick off any chaser who has been run down. Other items of equipment used in this game include a ball which is usually made from leather and rubber. Players are expected to wear shorts and T-shirts during games. Shin pads are recommended but not required for protection. There are no rules specifically for langdi other than those applicable to football in general. For example, there is no limit on how many times a player can be tagged out before being removed from the field. However, it is recommended that only players who have not been tagged out before should be allowed back on the field after being caught by a chaser. This helps prevent any serious injuries occurring due to excessive force being used by the chasers.
