  1. Follow the rules as they are quite simple.
    • There is a king, queen, jack, and dunce (like any 4 square)
    • The king serves it, bouncing a Tennis Ball, High Bounce Ball or a Hotshot Handball in his square first then it lands in an opponents square
    • The player who receives the ball hits it by hitting it in his square first which goes into another square
  2. Game play continues until one of these things occurs:
    • The ball is hit out (either fulled or otherwise)
    • The ball is fulled (meaning that the player hit the ball into his opponent's square without first hitting it into his own)
    • The ball is doubled (meaning that the ball is hit, but does not reach another square on the second bounce)
    • The ball may bounce in a square, then be hit into that square and then from there into the next square, although this is optional. You may let it not bounce
    • If a line call is unclear, then it is deemed a 'liner', where the queen bounces the ball into the center of the squares, and when the ball bounces game play resumes
    • The ball is double touched (by a person on any part of body or clothing)
  3. There are also other rules used during the playing of this game an these are as follows:
    • The player who is in the King Square can call "Ever ready" this means when they serve the ball to another opponent in a square and they have to return the ball whether their ready or not. If they miss the ball they go out and can not tell the player in the King square any excuses such as I wasn't ready etc...
    • During the playing of the game the player in the King Square can call a certain number of squares such as Top, middle, or bottom 4, for the amount of players they want out during that round.
    • The player in the King square can also call "Ghosty's" this means that during that round, members who are on the side line or are playing in that round are allowed to distract the member who has been served to using words or a body feature such as their arm. However they are not allowed to touch the ball at any time when doing Ghostys on to another player.

What does please down the ball mean?

this means to play the ball.


What does down mean?

In American football, a down is a play. A team has four plays to advance the ball 10 yards. If they are able to advance the ball 10 yards, they are given another four plays to get another 10 yards. If they are not able to advance the ball 10 yards in four plays, the other team gains possession of the ball. When you hear the term 'first down' that means the upcoming play is the first play in the series of four the team has to advance the ball 10 yards. 'Second down' is the second play in the series of four, 'third down' is the third play in the series of four, and 'fourth down' is the fourth play in the series of four.

What is a unit of the game which starts with the hike and ends when the ball is dead called?

That is called a 'play'.A play is a preplanned action (strategy) taken by the offensive team to move the ball down the field toward their opponent's goal line. Down: it begins with a hike and ends when the ball is dead, it's a down, that's your answer


Down- What is it?

A down is a play. When you hear the phrase "the team has four downs to make 10 yards in order to keep possession of the ball" it means that the team has four plays to make 10 yards. When it is 'second down' that means the team is on the second play of four in which they have to make 10 yards to keep possession of the ball. The 'down marker' is a play marker. When the 'down marker' reads 3, it is third down or the third play of four in which the team must make 10 yards in order to keep possession of the ball.


What is the meaning of second down?

In American football, a play is called a down. A team, on offense, has four downs to advance the ball ten yards. If the team is successful in doing this, they get another four downs to advance the ball ten yards. Second down is the second play in the series where the team needs to advance the ball ten yards to keep possession of the ball.

Can a player fall down and is the ball dead and the play ended without being contacted by another player?

NFL: Only if he is out of bounds. However, a player can proclaim himself down to an official, even if the player isn't touched. The official will then consider the ball dead and end the play. High School and college: Yes, it is down, play is whistled dead.


Where is a player marked down who makes a catch and bobbles the ball?

In the NFL the player is marked down once he has complete control of the ball (no longer bobbling the ball) and has been touched down by contact. If the player bobbles the ball, but continues to run and is not down by contact the play continues. However if the player catches the ball but is still bobbling it while he is being pushed backward by a defender, the player will be marked down once he has control at that spot.


Ball out of bounds play provisional ball?

Yes, if you think you have hit your ball in play out of bounds you must play a provisional ball from the exact same spot as where you played the previous shot from. However, if you know the ball is out of bounds the next ball you play becomes the ball in play.
