Kabaddi, with the raid clock running on screen
Kabaddi is a thirty-second sport. A raid starts, something happens fast, and either the raider gets back or he does not. Without a raid clock and a clear point breakdown on screen, a stream loses the one thing that makes the game tense.

The kabaddi scoreboard, built for kabaddi
A generic score bug with the words changed does not work. These are the fields our graphics carry for kabaddi, driven live from the scorer.
Camera plan
Positions are chosen for the sport and then adjusted for your venue. This is the starting point.
The whole mat from above the action, so a raid reads as a shape rather than a scramble.
Tackles close up - the ankle hold and the dash that decide points.
The crowd, the bench and the scale of a packed local final.
Tournament formats we cover
Two twenty-minute halves, run as pools into a knockout, usually over one or two days on a mat indoors or under a shamiana. Village and college tournaments are the bulk of it, with crowds that make the atmosphere half the broadcast.
Replays decide arguments here
Almost every kabaddi dispute is whether the raider's foot crossed the line before the hold broke. That is a replay question, and it needs a camera at mat level as well as the elevated view. A tournament that plans for it argues less.
Everything else a kabaddi tournament needs
The production is one part of it. These are the other services, and they share the same player list.
