Check Line: The check line is anywhere beyond the three point arc. To start the game, possession after a score, overtime, or after a foul, a player must check the ball with the opposite team behind the check line at the top of the key. After an opposing team passes the ball back to the offensive team, the offensive player must pass the ball to a teammate to start play. If the defense gains possession off of a missed basket or turnover, they must take the ball behind the check line and then attempt a shot, the shot will be blown dead and the opposite team will be awarded the ball at the top of the key, behind the check line.

Scoring: 2 points will be scored if a player makes a basket inside the three point arc. 3 points will be scored if a player makes the basket outside of the three point arc.
