To start the game, have one player enter each square. Additional players form a line
outside Square 1. Competition begins by the player in Square 4 serving diagonally to
the player in Square 2
During gameplay, players return the pickleball to any square with the objective of
making their opponents commit a fault so they can rotate to a higher square. If a
player commits a fault, that player is out and returns to Square 1. All remaining
players rotate to the higher square, if possible. If there are additional players, the
person that misplays the ball is out and goes to the end of the line while a new
player enters Square 1.
SET UP
The playing field is divided
into four squares.

boundary lines if desired.
