Tag matches with three-man teams were developed, and in some territories, a championship division was instituted for these teams, but the concept failed to become widely popular; outside <a href="/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexico</a>, multi-man tag matches are seen as a special attraction. </p><p>Typically, a tag team championship is awarded to and defended by a team of two.

All standard rules for singles wrestling apply to a team match. However, only one wrestler from each team, called the "legal man" is allowed in the ring at a time (although <a href="/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)" title="Heel (professional wrestling)">heels</a> will often flout this rule in an attempt to gang up on a single opponent). All other members of the team wait outside the ropes (on the ring apron or the floor) in the team's specified corner. Only an active/legal wrestler is allowed to score a fall or have a fall scored against him/her. But any wrestler, legal or outside, may face disqualification for himself or his team for violating rules. </p><p>Once a tag is made, the wrestler tagging out has a <a href="/wiki/Grace_period" title="Grace period">grace period</a> (typically five to ten seconds) to leave the ring before risking disqualification. Offensive cooperation from a team member is allowed during this time window; thus it is rather commonplace for both members of a team, especially <a href="/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)" title="Heel (professional wrestling)">heel</a> teams, to milk this grace period and have two men in the ring simultaneously with only one member of an opposing team </p><p>The following are standard requisites for making a legal tag: </p> <ul><li>Both feet of the wrestler on the outside must be flat on the apron.</li> <li>The wrestler outside the ring must be touching the tag rope tied in the corner (or the turnbuckle pad in-rings which have no tag rope) with hand outstretched OVER top rope, not through it.</li> <li>Tags are legal as long as the two team members touch.</li> <li>The referee has to see and/or hear the contact between the two wrestlers in order for the tag to be legal.</li></ul> <p>As the ultimate authority over the match, a referee may overlook any of these at his discretion, and during the frenzied action, often will be more lenient with them. </p><p>In some multi-man tag matches in <a href="/wiki/Lucha_libre" title="Lucha libre">lucha libre</a>, a wrestler can make himself the team's legal man simply by setting foot in the ring, and his partner then leaves. This allows for action to become nearly continuous. Two referees, one stationed inside the ring and one on the floor, are employed to maintain order for this type of match. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types_of_tags">Types of tags</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tag_team&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Types of tags"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Professional_wrestling_tag_team_match_types" title="Professional wrestling tag team match types">Professional wrestling tag team match types</a></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tara_tags_in_Gail_Kim.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Tara_tags_in_Gail_Kim.jpg/215px-Tara_tags_in_Gail_Kim.jpg" decoding="async" width="215" height="258" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Tara_tags_in_Gail_Kim.jpg/323px-Tara_tags_in_Gail_Kim.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Tara_tags_in_Gail_Kim.jpg/430px-Tara_tags_in_Gail_Kim.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1868" data-file-height="2243" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Lisa_Marie_Varon" title="Lisa Marie Varon">Tara</a> (right) tags her partner, <a href="/wiki/Gail_Kim" title="Gail Kim">Gail Kim</a>, into the match while they isolate <a href="/wiki/The_Blossom_Twins" class="mw-redirect" title="The Blossom Twins">a Blossom Twin</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>In independent discussion and analysis of matches, certain terms are used to describe specific scenarios involving tag team matches. These are planned and timed to inject drama into a match. </p><p>One <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_professional_wrestling_terms#Spot" title="Glossary of professional wrestling terms">spot</a> common to many tag team match is the <i>hot tag</i>. One member of one team is in the ring, too weakened to move or otherwise impaired, while his partner watches helplessly, struggling to reach him for a tag. The tension builds as the legal man is unable to tag out until something happens (a second wind, miscommunication between the opponents or another stroke of luck) that allows the first team to tag and reverse the momentum of the match in their favor. When done well, this results in a large audience reaction, and was the typical climax of tag matches for decades. <a href="/wiki/WWE" title="WWE">WWE</a> employs this tactic in nearly every tag team match to the point that they fired a referee in 2008 after a botched finish that, while the match produced the intended finish, did not feature a <i>hot tag</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A common variation on the hot tag sees both wrestlers from the heel team attacking a face, while his partner protests to the referee about this bending of the rules (and therefore, unintentionally "distracting" the referee away from the heels). Eventually the weakened face wrestler does make the tag to his partner, who comes in as the fresh man and is able to take on both opponents quite easily. </p><p>A <i>blind tag</i> is a legal tag made without the legal opponent's knowledge, usually while his back is turned. This allows the team who uses it an opportunity to confuse the legal opponent, who turns to face what he assumes to be his opponent only to be attacked by the true legal man, often from behind. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_terminology">Other terminology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tag_team&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Other terminology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A tag team match involving more than two wrestlers per team is often referred to by the total number of people involved (e.g. a <b>six-man</b> tag team match involves two teams of three), while a tag team match involving more than two teams is referred to by normal qualifiers (e.g. a triple threat tag team match involves three teams of two). </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Lucha_libre" title="Lucha libre">lucha libre</a>, the basic tag team match is referred to as <i>Lucha de Parejas</i> (Doubles Fight), a six-man match as a <i>Lucha de Trios</i>, and an eight-man match as a <i>Lucha Atómica</i> (Atomic Fight). </p><p>A "bookend" tag team is a (sometimes derogatory)<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
