Talk:Hot Box

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

take it to talk if we need to "hammer" it out

That was awful. Well done. :)

It doesn't make any sense to me to have the clearing line be a square instead of a circle... you'd want the clear-line to be a constant distance away from the box. I've never heard of making the clear-line a square, but clearly this is one of those local differences. The problem becomes picking a "standard"? Clearly we need more hot box players to chime in on this... Bcordes 16:16, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

• I live to please.  :) Must be a regional thing. It makes sense for me for both the inside and outside to be boxes, because you have 4 cones for each. Guessing the size of the outside circle based on corners of a square taxes the average player's mind far too much.  :) It does mean that clearing to the corners is a disadvantage. How do you do it with a circle? Just clear it out and say, looks good? Normally box is a small group of people, and not overly contentious, so I could see that working.

• • Yeah, pretty much, you have to guess on where the circle is, or just say "close enough". Or, as I said in the article, use the center circle of a soccer field. I asked a couple of my club team players last night and they said they've played it with a square outside box as well, so I'm willing to defer to popular experience.

[edit] no fouls

I don't know if this is regional, but I've never hear of "no fouls" in box... Themindset 19:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
