AROUND THE WORLD
THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS.
THERE ARE PRE-DESIGNATED SHOOTING POSITIONS.
THE FIRST SHOOTER TAKES HIS FIRST SHOT
FROM DIRECTLY UNDER THE BASKET. IF HE MAKES
THE SHOT, HE MOVES TO THE NEXT DESIGNATED
SHOOTING POSITION (FURTHER FROM THE BASKET).
IF HE MISSES THIS FIRST SHOT, HE LOSES HIS TURN,
AND THE NEXT PLAYER TAKES HIS SHOT. IF THE
PLAYER IS NOT AT THE FIRST POSITION AND MISSES
HIS FIRST SHOT, HE MAY DECIDE TO TAKE A SECOND
SHOT. THIS SHOT IS CALLED A CHANCE. IF THE
PLAYER MISSES THE CHANCE SHOT, HE LOSES HIS
TURN AND GOES BACK TO THE STARTING POSITION.
