This is a fast-paced half-court game that requires three players, all of whom are trying to score exactly 21. All regular rules of the game apply, except there are no out-of-bounds and no fouls.

on 6/30/2008 To add to my last post, my friend who made the tip-in when I was at 20 makes the argument that his tip wasnt worth anything only on that shot but I told him that he still gets his 3 points for the tip (thats how we play) but that I stay at 13 and cannot go to 0 on that.

on 6/30/2008 Well I have an interesting scenario that I've been asking many different people. What happens if I am at 20 and I miss the freethrow but get tipped on that shot? Do I go back down to 0? Let's just assume for arguments sake that it was not a one handed tip-in but a regular tip-in off of a miss. Thanks.

on 3/15/2008 They should take the rule out where u gotta make a 3 or free throw at the end becuase your going to 21 not 22 and if u make another point u go down anyway so that rule shouldnt be there

on 8/8/2006 Here's how my friends and I play 21. On the break (the first free-throw shot), if it goes in, the shooter gets 2 points, 1 point for every free throw after that. However, whenever the first free-throw is made (beginning of the game or at the end) it is worth 2. You must clear the ball outside the key, not the 3 point line (our school court doesn't have 3 point lines). You can only get in on an air ball, not a rebound. Any score under 13 with a tip sends you back to 0, a one handed tip (a tip with one hand) gets the person out, no matter what the score. Also, any distractions can be made as long as they're in front of the person and outside of the circle surrounding the key, with no blockage of the basket itself. At 13, you cannot be tipped, unless by 1 hand. At 20, if a free throw is missed or if you score more than 20, you go back to 13. The winner of the game breaks on the next game.
