Trash Can Basketball

2–10 players each get 5 throws per round using crumpled paper balls into a trash can 3–5m away. Clean swish=3pts, bank shot/rimmer=2pts, standard make=1pt.

A clean swish, a direct throw that enters with no rim contact, is worth 3 points. A bank shot, which bounces off the rim or wall before entering, and a rimmer, which circles the rim before falling in, are each worth 2 points.

All throws must be released from the agreed throwing distance of 3 to 5 meters. A throw released from closer than the agreed distance does not count and is not rethrown; the throw is simply lost from that player's 5 for the round.

Players should exercise appropriate caution and play responsibly. Ensure the playing area is safe and free from hazards.
