RIGGER & TRIGGER TOYS AND GAMES

EQUIPMENT

Clash Line uses a small set of specialized equipment designed for strength, balance, control, and safe competition.

The sport does not require weapons, striking equipment, or protective fighting gear.

The Chain

The Chain is the central objective of every duel.

It is mounted at the exact centre of the platform and connected to a fixed activation system beneath the surface.

To begin a control attempt, an athlete must:

  • secure the Chain;
  • lift it to the activation height;
  • remain balanced inside the Control Ring;
  • and maintain control for the required count.

The Chain is never carried, swung, wrapped around the body, or used as a weapon.

Prototype testing will determine the final:

  • link size;
  • grip shape;
  • activation height;
  • resistance level;
  • return mechanism;
  • and control signal.

The Activation System

The Chain connects to a protected mechanism housed beneath the platform.

The system is designed to provide:

  • limited vertical movement;
  • consistent resistance;
  • a clear activation point;
  • a visible or audible control signal;
  • controlled return when released;
  • no exposed falling weight;
  • no loose mechanism near the athletes’ feet.

Once the Chain reaches activation height, the system signals that control has begun.

If the Chain drops below the activation point, the control count resets.

The Platform

The competition platform includes:

  • reinforced circular construction;
  • a non-slip surface;
  • a clearly marked outer boundary;
  • opposite starting lines;
  • a central Control Ring;
  • enclosed Chain mechanics;
  • protected edges;
  • and sufficient impact absorption for supervised falls and resets.

The prototype platform measures approximately:

  • 16 feet / 4.9 metres in diameter
  • 8–12 inches above the surrounding floor
  • 4-foot / 1.2-metre central Control Ring

Final dimensions may be adjusted after athlete trials.

Athlete Clothing

Competitors wear fitted athletic clothing that allows safe movement and clear officiating.

Approved competition clothing may include:

  • fitted athletic top;
  • sleeveless performance top;
  • approved shorts;
  • compression clothing;
  • non-slip athletic footwear;
  • team colours and identification.

Loose clothing that could catch on the Chain or another athlete is not permitted.

Grip Equipment

Athletes may be permitted to use:

  • approved athletic tape;
  • wrist tape;
  • chalk;
  • approved grip support.

Gloves are not permitted unless introduced through future safety testing.

Grip products must not damage the Chain or create an unfair mechanical advantage.

Prohibited Equipment

Athletes may not wear:

  • jewellery;
  • watches;
  • hard braces without approval;
  • sharp accessories;
  • metal fasteners;
  • loose belts;
  • equipment capable of injuring an opponent;
  • unauthorized grip products.

All equipment is subject to inspection before competition.

Referee Equipment

Officials may use:

  • competition timer;
  • Chain activation indicator;
  • whistle or audible start signal;
  • replay monitor;
  • boundary camera;
  • official score display;
  • athlete identification cards;
  • medical stop signal.

Team Equipment

Each team may use approved:

  • uniforms;
  • warm-up clothing;
  • towels;
  • chalk containers;
  • hydration equipment;
  • corner seating;
  • team banners;
  • identification boards.

Team equipment must follow Sportarium branding and safety standards.

Inspection

Before every official session, League staff inspect:

  • the platform structure;
  • the Chain mount;
  • the activation system;
  • boundary markings;
  • surface condition;
  • athlete equipment;
  • timing and signal systems.

Competition cannot begin until the platform and equipment are approved for use.

Prototype Development

The first equipment system will be tested with real athletes before final competition specifications are adopted.

Trials will help determine:

  • the safest Chain design;
  • ideal resistance;
  • activation travel;
  • platform size;
  • surface grip;
  • athlete footwear;
  • and officiating technology.

Every component must support the core identity of Clash Line:

Strength. Balance. Pressure. Control.
