The command Four On The Floor (or simply ‘Four’) requires the House Boy to place both hands and both feel flat on the floor simultaneously. If he is holding anything when the command is given, the boy should place it down safely before obeying the command.

This command is rarely used, but when it is it usually proceeds either a scalp or scrotum inspection, a transition to a Seven Point Position (See Rule #108), or objectification of the boy as a desk so that documents may be signed using his back as a tabletop. The command is sometimes mistakenly confused with the yelling of ‘Fore’ on golf courses.

In the example photo, the House Boy has not yet completed the position when he turns to the Master looking for approval. Note that his left foot is not flat and also is showing dirt on the heel to the Master. If the raised heel is transitory and the foot is laid flat promptly, the boy will have completed the position properly. Should he hold in this position, the boy is subject to a Level One Spanking for failing to follow instructions.

Well endowed boys must use care to avoid making contact between their penis or scrotum and the floor, which would actually be a Five Point Position subjecting him to punishment for failing to meet expectations.
