4 SQUARE FOOTBAG VARIATIONS

This section is in progress...for now I will just list the variations I had previously posted
If you have 4-square variants please post them on the 4-Square Forum

Games Variations:
  • Tournament Rules:
    -There is no voting by the players.
    -There is an official referee, who makes all decisions on who is out.
    -The referee should stand just outside the court directly behind the line between the 3rd and 4th squares.
    -If a player contacts the refereee they are OUT
    -The Server may not make PROPOSITIONS.

  • Team Squares: Everyone finds a teammate. Teams play together in the same square. The only change is that the serves are a toss from one team member to the other who kicks it to another square and each point the serve must alternate between teammates.

  • The Jury: if you have an OUT line of 3 or more people, you can play with the JURY rule, where players that are in squares do not get to vote, only the players that are in the OUT line. Nobody gets 2 votes if you play this way.

  • 3 Square: If you only have 3 players, you can still play. Use the same court, but there is always one square empty which is out. Players still only advance one square a time and when there is nobody in 4th square, the player in square 3 serves but gets no points and does not need to call his/her score. Also the server only gets one vote during a VOTE.


    Local Variations:
    At this time I am only aware on one very localized rule, please send me your club or group's variations if you have one.
  • The Dictators, Praha: If you attempt to dig a SPIKE or a pass which is TOO LOW and miss your OUT and not the person who made the bad pass.
