3) the team in control must be the last team to touch the ball in front court
4) that same team must be the first to touch the ball after it has been in the back court (even if it returned to front court "under it's own power", like a reverse spin or maybe it hit an official who is standing in the back court)

Not exactly. #3 is not required based on the interp this year that states it's a violation if B is the last to touch the ball in the FC, but A1 touches the ball while standing in the BC before the ball bounces in the BC. For that interp to be accurate, #3 needs to be amended.
