How a match goes

  1. Your ball

    When the ball reaches you, you get your own NBA question and a clock: 12 seconds, then 10, then 8 from round 3.

  2. dribbles

    Name a right player to keep it going: 1 of the room's dribbles, or 2 if you answer inside 3 seconds.

  3. LIVES

    Everyone has 3 lives. Run out of time and you lose a life. Wrong answers cost nothing but time.

  4. Shot

    Hit the room's target and whoever has the most dribbles this round takes the shot, on a harder question. With 4 players in, the target is 12 dribbles. Miss, and everyone else races for the rebound.

  5. FINAL

    A bucket gives you a life back (never more than 3). First to 3 buckets wins, or be the last one with lives left.
