Format

  • Single elimination.
  • There are 9 marked spots on the court to shoot from and must be done in a specific order.
  • Start closer to the hoop and gradually move to the free throw line then around to the other side of the hoop.
  • The first shot, which is the closet to the hoop, must be shot underhand.
  • The 2-point line will be the last shot and be the longest shot in the game.
  • 8 spots are worth 1 point for each made shot and 1 spot is worth 2 points (will mark with a color).
  • Each team member will shoot once from each spot then move to the next spot in rotation.
  • Teams are responsible for rebounding their own shots.
  • Teams will have 2.5 minutes to complete all 18 shots.
  • Teams will be divided between both baskets for round 1
