I vaguely remember a shooting-only variant of 21 from grade school that went something like this - Two players - Game starts by alternating free throws until someone makes theirs, called 'breaking the ice' - worth 2 points - After the ice has been broken, all further rebounds become live. The player who isn't shooting may catch the rebound and shoot from where they caught it. If they make the basket it is worth one point. - Upon sinking a basket, you keep the ball and take a shot from the foul line, again worth 2 points if you make it. - You may move as far directly backwards from the hoop as you like (but not closer, or to the side to change the angle). You can take a 3-point shot. I guess this is more for children and total beginners since most rebounds will end up being a few feet from the hoop, and the competition comes from players not being able to reliably sink free throws. I'm curious if this is a thing or just something my grade school hivemind popped out. fisting by many fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Mar 6, 2012 |

BigLeafyTree posted:I've also never heard of the moving backwards rule, I've always played it as you shoot from where you rebound it and if you're directly under the basket, tough . I think that rule was to speed up the game a bit since people would often wait for the ball to bounce/roll away from directly under the basket, or go a few extra inches if it was just in front of the three-point line.
