How the result works
Only baskets after a qualifying paint touch score.
Example: A wing cuts through the lane, catches inside the paint, kicks out, and the corner make counts.
Keep it clean
Adding a second ball, loose markers, or a written score sheet. Use existing court lines and spoken scoring for this run path.
Safety: Keep the rebound lane clear, use existing court lines as boundaries, and give each shooter or active group enough stopping and landing space.
