This is quite simple. One poster lists four persons, preferably four tennis players, and then it's up to the others to figure out what these four have in common. All four persons doesn't have to be tennis people, but this is a tennis trivia, so at least two of them should.
For instance if my trivia question is:
Roger Federer,
Jurgen Melzer,
Andre Agassi
Radek Stepanek
the correct answer would be ”They're all married to female tennis players”. There are possibly other alternative correct answers to this question, but for you to get it right it has to be what the person who posted the question had in mind.
The person who gets it right then gets to continue by coming up with four new names, and others will guess what they have in common and then it continues like that until everyone gets sick of the game and no one wants to play anymore.
This is supposed to be for fun, but here are some rules/guidelines to hopefully make things work better:
*Don't ask a new trivia question until the person who asked the previous question okays your answer. This is to prevent that we get multiple questions going on at the same time.
*If a question hasn't been answered, the person who posted the trivia question can give clues. This can be by writing something or posting a picture, so that it will be easier for others to figure out the answer.
*If a trivia question remains unanswered for one day (24 hrs) after the person who posted the trivia question has given any new clues, then anyone can start over with a new trivia question.
*If you guess the correct answer on something, but don't want to come up with a new question, just say so and someone else can come up with a new question. If someone says the correct answer, but doesn't post a new question within 24 hrs after it's been okayed, anyone else can step in and post a new question.
*To prevent people from guessing endlessly you get one guess per clue. So once the trivia question has been posted, you have one guess, then you have to wait for the trivia poster to give another clue before you get another guess, and so on.
*If an answer is posted, but isn't 100% correct but quite close, it's up to the person who posted the trivia to decide if he/she okays the answer or if he/she wants the answer to be more specific. If he/she says a more specific answer is required, anyone can jump in, it doesn't have to be the person who almost got it right in the first place. So vulturing is allowed.
*Don't post questions where the answer is ”They have all been top 20 players” since that applies to far too many players or something vague like ”They're all mugs”. It should be something that's quite specific and doesn't apply to that many players.
These rules are what has worked on another forum I've been doing this on, but if we notice that something isn't working here, there might be adjustments in the future.
Any questions?
Feel free to ask if so, but I want to get this going so I'll start with:
Kim Clijsters
Petra Kvitova
Samantha Stosur
Na Li

Well the actual game is quite simple, but then the huuuuuuuuuuge wall of text is just to make sure the game runs as smooth as possible and that we don't end up with other Kanepi-gate.
