play to 11 by ones and twos, or whoever gets to 15 first if nobody wins by two at 11.

call your own fouls, but don't be a pu$$y. you bring it into the paint you should be able to handle some contact. i rarely call fouls unless i really get smacked or if my team needs a point. ALSO, if you call a foul you don't count the basket, you take the ball to the top of the key and check it.

no back court. anyone who calls back court in a playground game deserves to be smacked around.

and another thing, everybody should get the ball at some point, but if you are a terrible shooter/ball handler, give the ball to someone else who can and go set a pick. this always pisses me off.

whats the verdict on choosing squads? team captains OR first 5 to make a free throw?

This is almost exactly the same as here at Cal Poly, except:
- everything is one point, no twos
- if you call a foul and make the basket, the basket counts and game continues normally

Selection is first 5 to make a free throw when a new game starts, and people waiting to play form teams of 5 by who was there first.

those games were pretty good at the rec center a few years ago. there would always be the 'main game' with a good amount of solid players on one court. On the other was usually an 'asian game' with an average height based on the following formula:
Average IQ / 4 = average height in inches.

I loved playing in that game because I am 6'3 and they would cower an whisper to each other 'pass it to godzilla'.
