Originally called Saucer Tennis TM (aka. Frisbee Tennis) in 1976, finally TheSport 4X4 in 2000, with many players who engage in the competition simply calling TheSport 4X4, TheSport for short. The Picture below is of a Beach 4X4 court in Asia.

The color code is as follows.
 * Red: 4 Feet from the Net on both sides of the court, are the Safety Zone™ area. Players may not enter this area and if the disc lands within it is ruled out of bounds and scored accordingly.


 * Orange: 10 Feet from the Net on both sides of the court are the Encroachment Zones™. During 3X3,Triples you may not have more than two players within this area, in 4X4 play you are allowed no more than two players as well. If your team violates the rule you are ruled out of Bounds and scored accordingly. You may not make a service pass to a player within the Encroachment zone. You may make a pass to a teammate within this area during a volley.


 * Green:Extending from the 10 foot encroachment lines, toward the Serving Restriction line is the Free Play Zone™. You can have as many players as you wish within this area, make a pass to a teammate within the Free Play Zone during the serve, and you may also release a disc with a throw above your shoulder.


 * Yellow35 feet from the net on both sides of the court are the Serving Restriction Zones. The player serving must not leave this area until the disc is released. If the serving player steps out of the Serving Restriction Zones, it will be ruled a wasted serve and scored accordingly.


 * End Zone LinesOn the Championship court they are 45 feet from the net on both sides of the court. This line designated the end of the Free Play Zone. It is also important to not that you must guard the end zone line. If the opposing team makes a throw and it flies directly over the end zone line, and exits lower than shoulder height of the closest defender it is ruled a missed catch during a volley, or an Ace during the serve.
