So, what is Red Bull Four2Score? It is a 4vs4 small field football game played without a goalkeeper, where games last for 10 minutes each. The sport combines elements of soccer, basketball, and volleyball and is played in a custom-built court with four players on each team. Goals scored in the first and last 60 seconds of the game count as double, adding an exciting twist to the gameplay.

The tournament format in India began with city rounds, where teams played in group and knockout stages to progress to their respective regional round. The winning team from each city round progressed to their respective regional round, and the top two teams from each regional round made it to the national finals.

The national finals featured teams from all regions of India, including Super Strikers and Hungry Monster from the East region, FC Cecilians A and Kalina Rangers from the West region, Goal Hunterz and Deadly FC from the North region, and Boom Boom Goa and Maccabi Juniors from the South region. In the end, Boom Boom Goa emerged as the Red Bull Four2Score India Champions and will now represent India in the world finals.

The game rules of Red Bull Four2Score are designed to make the gameplay fast-paced and dynamic. There are no goalkeepers, and games can be played on any field, including grass, turf, concrete, dirt, or hard court. A golden goal mode is played if a game is tied after 10 minutes of gameplay, where one player from each team will play 1vs1 until a goal is scored.

Red Bull Four2Score is an exciting and entertaining sport that has gained a growing following in various countries around the world. It is a unique game that combines different elements of sports to create a fast-paced, high-energy, and dynamic game that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.

S Serve: The beginning and the end

BWF has put an interim ban on the new spin serve   until May 29, 2023. While announcing this, BWF President Poul-Erik Høyer said that the new spin serve has many similar characteristics to the infamous S serve (also known as Sidek serve named after Rashid Sidek), which is not allowed. The serve/service is a vital element of Badminton.
