FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I play for free?
Instead of using point pads, you can draw X's and a point value on the ground with chalk. You can also keep score on the ground using chalk. The downside is that it's more difficult to play multiple games in a row. This also only works in places where you can draw on the ground, like a driveway.
See our How to Play page for all the rules.
Do I need exactly 2000 points to win?
No! The first person to reach at least 2000 points wins. For example, if you have 1800 points and score a 600 point shot, you still win (as long as you shout "BASKETBALL 2000!")
Do I need a basketball?
Yes. We do not currently offer kits that include a basketball. If you need to buy one, please check out your local sporting good store or Amazon.
What is the elastic string in the kit for?
The elastic string is for attaching the pen to the electronic scoreboard. First, loop it through the pen, then through the scoreboard.
Can everyone get the points from each point pad?
Yes. However, you cannot get points from the same point pad twice. But just because you made it, that does not mean that another player cannot shoot and gets points from that point pad too.
What if someone I'm playing with can't make a basket?
A great modification to the game, is to count a shot if it hits the net, the rim, or the backboard. This is a great way to include young kids if you want to play with the whole family.
Why can't I play with more than four people?
Technically, yes. However, we do not recommend it. The game can take too long and not everyone will place the same number of point pads.
How long until my backorder ships?
We try our best to ship backorders within 15 business days. However, this depends on how many backorders we have. If you want to know when your order will ship, please contact us.
How long does it take for an order to arrive?
We try our best to ship orders within 2 business days. Please see our shipping policy for information on how long shipping can take.
Can I return my kit?
Yes, as long as you are eligible based on our refund policy.
What happens if something breaks?
Please reach out to us and let us know. We are considering an option to sell just the point pads in case you break or lose yours.
If you are eligible for a return based on our refund policy, we are happy to replace or refund your purchase.
How often will you email me if I subscribe?
We hate spam. In most cases, we will not send more than one email per month.
