How to play

Two players, one screen. First to 11 (win by 2). The team with the ball scores; the ball rides one carrier (the pulsing gold ring).

Every possession has three beats:

• Move. The offense moves its team. Cutters reposition once a possession; the carrier dribbles every turn. Tap a player, tap a green dot, then End move.
• Ball. The carrier can pass (blue), shoot the rim (gold), or hold. Passes get picked off; shots get blocked.
• Defense. The other side moves to contest, then End D. Camp in the key and the offense gets a free point.

Clocks: cross half court before the bring-up count ends, then beat the shot clock. A violation is a turnover and a free point.

Architect's Gambit: after a turnover you place the ball on a center square. Your own side keeps the backcourt; across the line starts you in the frontcourt with the shot clock live.
