: To keep the game safe and fair, "It" is usually restricted from tagging players on the head, neck, or front torso [21].

: Some groups play with a "Hospital" zone. Players who are out can perform a specific task (like 10 jumping jacks) in this zone to "heal" and re-enter the game [21]. Alternative Meanings

: After tagging someone, "It" generally cannot tag the same person immediately. They must tag a different player first or wait at least 20 seconds before returning to the same target [21].

: If the same player is tagged a second time, they must place their other hand on the new "wound" [21].

: If a player is tagged a third time while both hands are already occupied, they are typically considered "out" or must go to a designated "Hospital" area to wait for a new round [21]. Fair Play & Safety
