  Tag Rugby - The Rules for Tag Rugby
Once tagged, the player in possession of the ball must attempt to stop as soon as possible and pass the ball within 3 seconds of being tagged (real beginners could be given longer).

After a tag has been made, both the ball carrier and the defender cannot take any further part in the game until the defender has handed back the ribbon to the attacker (not thrown it on the floor) and the attacker has replaced this ribbon back on their belt.
