Dr. Feelgood Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I know this is a popular basketball game played by many with the name changing from region to region as well as the rules. So I was curious as to how some of you guys play 21 (my friends and I call it either 21 or crunch). This is how we play it: Usually between 3 different people, sometimes 5Someone starts the game at the top of the key shooting a 3, if they make it, it's 3 pointsPlay by 1s and 2sYou get 3 free throws (gotta make them to get more) if you make a shotOne handed tip ins onlyIf you get tipped, you go back to 0If you get OVER 11, you're safe. So if you have 15 points and you get tipped, you go back to 11. Though if you're at 11 and you get tipped, back to 0.Don't play out of bounds or fouls (unless you get mugged or raped)Tips count as 1 point unless the shot is taken from 2If player A tries to tip the shot of player B and misses, if player C (or B) tips in the missed tip, Player A goes back to 0, not player B. Whoever touches the ball last while it's in the air, they lose their points. I think that's about it, here are other variations from Wiki... Let me know how you guys play the game, I find it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 There was one game that I played just recently, I think I ended up scoring around 45-50 points but kept on getting tipped. Still won though. :glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Fly High Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I call it 21 and tip-ins don't have to be one-handed. I'm pretty sure the safe number is 13 for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 We tip in very often as most everyone that I play with is pretty good at one handed tip ins, we've played a single game for like, 2 hours once because of tip ins, lol.
