How do you play down ball?

Answer 1

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.
