Tips & Warnings
One way to arrange the game is to have the 18 shooting spots. Put the first one on the key near the baseline, then half way up the key, then where the key meets the foul line. Add a spot in the middle of the foul line then go back down the key. Move half way between the key and the three point line and place three spots up the court. Do the same on the other side of the court. Then add five spots along the three point line.
