Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
The challenge in front of you
Score as many baskets as possible from ten shots. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
How to proceed
- Set angle and power.
- Shoot.
- A downward crossing inside the rim scores.
- Adjust for another shot.
Input guidance
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
