How it plays
- One court for the whole room, with the table lined up along the front of it. On your phone the ball sits at the bottom of the screen: flick it up towards a ring. Drift the flick left or right to lean the throw, and the faster your finger is moving when you let go, the further the ball flies.
- No clock, and no hoop of your own: two or three rings travel across the far end all game and wrap round off the edge, so one passes you as often as it passes anybody else. Every 15 seconds the two lowest scores are out and the rings go faster. Straight through is 3 points, in off the rim or backboard is 2. Last shooter standing wins.
Rules
- How it runs. One shared court. Two or three rings travel across the far end and wrap round, passing every player alike, and speed up each stage.
- Scoring. Straight through the net is 3 points. In off the rim or the backboard is 2.
- Winning. No clock: every 15 seconds the two lowest scores are out. Last shooter standing wins.
