Christian Devaux created the World Chase Tag (WCT) in 2012 after a game of Tag with his son in their back garden. Christian's brother Damien Devaux later joined in 2013. The game of tag is a very old game, but it has never been listed as a sport until WCT.

World Chase Tag movements are similar to parkour. Moving over obstacles, jumping and sprinting. Most of WCT athletes have a background in doing parkour.

World Chase Tag® (WCT) events are divided into three tiers - National Championships, Continental Championships and World Championships. In 2021, WCT hosted National Championships in the US, China and the UK, which act as qualifier tournaments for the upcoming World Championship (WCT5) which will be held in London in June 2022.

A Sudden Death Chase-Off consists of two 20 second Chases where each team gets to Evade.

The team that gets the longest Evasion Time wins.

The 25 second rest period between Chases does not apply during Sudden Death and teams have up to 3 minutes to decide which athlete to send out.

The Evading team must send out their athlete first.

If a winner is not decided after one round of Sudden Death (for example, if both Chases end in an Evasion), the process is repeated.

This is our most popular format and is used at our main events (eg. WCT national Championships, WCT4, WCT5 etc.).

It is a team format that is played by two teams of up to 6 athletes.

Each match is the best of 16 Chases.

Each Chase is 20 seconds long with one Chaser and one Evader.

There is a 25 second Rest Period between Chases.

The winning athlete in each Chase stays on as the Evader for the next Chase.

A team is awarded one point for each Evasion they make (I.e. when the Evader lasts 20 seconds without getting caught).

Tags must be made with the hand (I.e. NOT the foot).

If an athlete steps out of bounds, they lose that Chase.

If a match ends in a draw, it goes to a Sudden Death Chase-Off.
