A GAME USING A BASKETBALL AND BASKETBALL NET. EACH
PLAYER PLAYING INDIVIDUALLY WOULD ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY
KIND OF SHOT FROM ANYWHERE. IF HE MISSED, THE NEXT
PLAYER GOT HIS CHOICE. IF HE MADE IT, THE NEXT
PLAYER (ORDER ASSIGNED PREVIOUSLY) WOULD ATTEMPT TO MAKE
THE SAME SHOT. IF HE ALSO MADE IT, THEN THE NEXT PLAYER
MUST ALSO. THE FIRST PLAYER TO MISS (ORIGINAL STARTER
EXCLUDED AND THOSE AFTER HIM) WOULD BE DESIGNATED WITH
A "P." THE NEXT PLAYER HAS HIS CHOICE OF SHOTS AND
THE GAME CONTINUES. IF THE PLAYER WITH "P" MISSES
ANOTHER SHOT MADE BY THE SAME/DIFFERENT PLAYER, HE
GETS AN "I." THE FIRST PERSON TO GET "P-I-G" IS OUT
OF THE GAME. THE LAST PERSON LEFT IS THE WINNER.
