Four Square

Golden Rules of Four Square

1-The GoldenRules must always be obeyed

  The King cannot change or effect them in any manner.

2- The King is the only one that can make rules

     These rules have to effect all of the players,
     not only the king, Queen, Jack, or trash.

3-If a player gets out, then they are out, no trades or subs.

  The king makes all final desions on outs, unless Mob rules are called

4-If a player thinks they are out, and subsequently walks off the court, then they are out.

5-Any rule can be called, as long as all players understand it

   Also, rules can only be called at the beginning of each turn

6- No player can get out on the first hit (after the king's bounce)
