the basket. Slam dunks are not permitted. After player #5 attempts the
point, the round is over.
Following the completion of the round by the first team, the second team
will begin. Players will rotate in numerical order after each round. Teams
will switch ends of the court at halftime.
Scoring: 1 point for good pass. 1 point for catch. 1 point bonus if all good
passes and catches. 2 points if basket is made. Possible total per round is 11.
