I'm in the Air Force. While stationed in England my co-workers and I would play foursqaure every chance we got. During breaks and lunch we would clear away the shop floor and game on! Foursquare rules!!!
Back row from right to left: Brian "Tugs" Sargent, Brendan Bennett, and Mike Anderson.
Front row from right to left: Kevin "Kevlar" Connell, Erica Boehm, and Douglas Connell.
Sean and Company: The gang up here in Cape Elizabeth has been busily preparing for the World Championships. Thanks to Audrey, the school gym has been opened for the past 6 Saturdays for secret practices, and we've been averaging about 20 people a week. And we finally moved into our new house last June, and our underground training facility (aka the basement) has seen nearly daily use. We would send some menacing pictures, but we figured leaving it to your imaginations would be even more intimidating. Seriously, we are really looking forward to next week and to seeing all the great people from Squarefour again!
Game-balls are red,
Four-squares are blue.
You clobbered our hearts,
And your collar bone, too.

To make play order explicitly clear we had to make the inside lines out of bounds. Each time a ball lands in your square, you have to go for it. If it lands on two squares at the same time, who should go for it? Was the ball more in square 1 or more in square 2? What if no one goes for it, who then is out? What if the ball lands on the very center, effectively hitting all the squares, who plays it next? And how long are you willing to listen to two people argue over who is supposed to be out?
So to answer all these ambiguities in play, we just made the out of bounds rules apply to inside lines. It's each player's responsibility to hit the ball into another square, without hitting it out of bounds.

I put lime in my salsa,
some put lime in their beer.
I can't wait to get my t-shirt,
it's lime I'm gonna wear!
i have many shirts
but none colored hot lime green
that will change shortly
