5-7 shooting spots arranged in an arc around the key, 8-15ft (2.4-4.5m) from the hoop.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark a series of shooting spots in an arc from one side of the hoop to the other.

2

The first player shoots from the first spot, advancing to the next spot only after making a basket.

3

On any made shot, the player may choose to keep shooting from the next spot or stop and hold their place.

4

Missing a shot ends that player's turn, passing the ball to the next player.

5

A player may attempt a risky move-up shot from their current spot; missing it sends them back to the start.

6

The first player to make a shot from every spot all the way around wins the game.
