How to play Knockout Elimination
After a miss, the shooter rebounds and keeps shooting until they score.
If the second player scores before the first player scores, the first player is out.
After scoring, pass the ball to the next person in line and rejoin if still alive.
Guide details
Run it cleanly
How the result works
There is no running score. A player is eliminated when the person behind scores first.
Example: Player one misses twice. Player two makes the second attempt first, so player one is eliminated.
Keep it clean
Passing a scored ball to the wrong next player. The scorer always feeds the next person in line.
Safety: Keep the rebound area clear and move the line if the spot creates collisions.
