That makes for a pretty long dance if the lines are long. 2) If you have a pretty full house of contra lines, you won't have room for circles. 3) Opposite problem for 4 facing 4's. If you don't have enough it doesn't take much time to run through the line. 4) Squares: up to 3 couples won't be able to dance. That may not be too bad as some will be on the edge of whether they want to sit one out and will accommodate to fill out the last square.
