Yes. Ace the king! If you kick it in the king's square without him/her making any contact, you take the kings points

at school we have a little rule (now abolished) but if it was above chest/nipple height and it went straight down into some one elses square it is out.

and on 14 (match point) we say UNO (as in the card game) or else you go back to 13 again and have to fight that bit longer.
i think spinning each kick is just a tad difficult for the less established players of the game so that is a NO
There is no Boyall in team, unless it is an All-Boy team. PM if you dont get it

I played with these rules a while ago...

Once you kicked you have to touch your hands on the ground.

Hard.

Yes. Roullette! Each Square is assigned a certain footbag. The square a player is eliminated in determines the footbag used in the next round. First round starts with King's footbag.

I can dig this thread... but I can't dig you latest proposal (flip is non-existant)
I propose the Line Rule. If someone hits it on a line ALL players are out and the next 4 cycle in.

we have a new rule, if the sack lands in the exact middle on or over the intersection then who ever kicked it goes to king and the other players are ejected from the ground and placed into the line.

Ooooohhh, that can be rough...

But I would still vote for it.
Same side. You have to receive with the same side the passer used. If he passes with his left you must receive with your left. Upper body is neutral. Watch out for cross-body moves!!!!!!!!!!!!

i vote yes. that's one of those rules that are hard to remember during play. good.

if there's two persons with glasses among the 4, they have to give it to the other two. definitely a fun rule, though the level of its impact depends on the glasses... :lol:
