Pick-up Game Rules
Rules for pick up play. Games are scored by two and three points at a time, up to 21. Win by one point. Teams will be determined by shooting a three pointer, the first four players to make a three pointer constitute one team. The same procedure goes for the second team. Under no circumstances should teams be hand picked.
On the first court in which a game is finished, the losing team must leave the court. If there are four players waiting, they must go to the first available court. If there are not 4 players waiting, the players that were waiting (1, 2, or 3) are automatically in the next game (on the next available court). The losing team then shoots for the remaining spots available. This procedure will continue throughout the pick-up game time.
When a losing team walks off and is finished playing the winners on one court can play the winners on the other court. This can only happen if there are no other players waiting to play.
