Upcoming Chase Tag Competition in Lyon with Extended Format

Excitement is building for the next event in the World Chase Tag (WCT) calendar! On July 13th at 6 PM, KIMEO in Lyon will host a Chase Tag competition featuring an extended format that promises to deliver even more action and intensity. This event will see three renowned teams battle it out in a series of 32 chases, doubling the usual 16-chase format, and will be streamed live on all official World Chase Tag platforms, including YouTube and Facebook.

A New Level of Chase Tag Competition

For this event, the standard Chase Off format has been expanded to include 32 chases, providing more opportunities for breathtaking movements and strategic play. Each match will consist of two halves, with a short 10-minute break following the 16th chase. This change is set to amplify the role of manager and coach with a proper time to re-motivate their team. It may also act as a momentum-breaker against the winning team and bring more coming from bottom stories.

Teams to Watch

Three top-tier teams will be showcasing their skills in this intense showdown. Known for their agility, speed, and strategic brilliance, these teams have a reputation for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in Chase Tag. Announcement to be made soon !
