Mens and Womens Four Square

1. Each player rolls the die to reveal positions. The player with the
highest number gets the king position (A). Positions Queen (B),
Jack (C), and Ace (D) are given to the next highest number.
2. The server is in Square A. During the game, players try to
advance into square A and stay there. To start the game, the
player in Square A serves the ball by bouncing it in his square

once and hitting it into another square. The player in the

receiving square must hit the ball into another square, and so on.
The only legal way to hit a ball is with open-palmed, underhand
shots. Fist shots, overhand shots, and hitting the ball with any
other part of the body are ILLEGAL. These missteps are called
"fouls"
3. Play stops when a player hits the ball before it bounces once in
his or her square, doesn't hit the ball before it bounces twice, hits
the ball so it lands out of bounds, or commits a foul. The line is
in bounds. The lines between squares are in bounds and they
are connected to the square into which the ball is traveling
(therefore, that person must hit the ball before it bounces again).
The volunteer will be the ruling party and this persons decisions
are final if ruling is in accordance with these rules.
4. When play stops, the player who committed the foul must move
to the lowest square (D) or to the back of the line, causing all the
other players to move up (or stay put). Then, play must continue
as soon as players B, C, and D are ready (King cannot delay start
if time is close to 15 minutes). If play is not started before time
runs out (according to the volunteer in charge), king will be
moved to square D and player B will be declared the winner (B
and C will move up accordingly).
