I still dont know a lot of Kabaddi rules,this is so confusing.

Ā 

The issue from what I understand.

Ā 

The side of the kabaddi court is called the lobby. When a raider comes in, the defending team members cannot step into that area if the raider does not touch any defender. If they do, they are out and the opposing team gets a point.Ā 

Ā 

According to an old rule in the PKL:Ā 

If a raider goes into the lobby without touching anyone and defenders follow into the lobby the defenders are out and the raider is out. In one PKL match one guy did this and got the entire opposition out and changed the game completely. So the rule was changed

Ā 

The new rule states that both teams get 1 person out each .. and the game continues.Ā 

Ā 

The umps first gave 1-1... the Indians protested vociferously saying that the rule book has the old rule. The decision was reviewd and India got 4-1. Iran protested vociferously and they tried to go back to 1-1.

Ā 

Now the Indians are refusing to play. The commentators are saying that for the sanctity of the game either redo the raid or go with 1-1 for the sake of the game.Ā

WTF...just give it 1-1 and play on.

Ā 

Indian coach Bhaskaran is also throwing tantrums.

Ā 

He was right to do so. Actually he was fine when they initially said 1-1. Then they realised that is not the rule and overruled that decision to announce 4-1.Ā 

Then they went back on that decision as well. That is when he got incensed. Completely right. It's on the officials for not being clear on the rule. Pathetic refereeing. A case study of how not to referee
