Initial layout and description of the O.K. Game – Competitive Version
Once you have made those two teams, each team form a row of india from the Free Throw of each basket.
In each team, a player will shoot a single Free Throw. Mark it or not, go to your ball and you return to the row. If the Free Throw is made, all players of that team, ‘will sing’ the total score that you wear.
At the end of the time, the team that more has scored wins. In case of a tie, we can maintain (and make another round) or you can break the tie. In the case of a tie, there are two ways to break the tie:
- each team must choose your best shooter.
- or keep throwing by a period of extra and see which team has basked more.
- or a shot of each player from each team.
