A basket ball hoop is mounted to a hard back board which offers it the necessary support. During a regular play, a score is made by passing the ball through the hoop hence leading to making scores. A player who scores when touching the hoop scores double points for the team unlike when a score is made while the player is standing at a far place. The ball is usually dribbled and passed on to a team mate while running forward towards the pother part of court that’s occupied by the opponents.

Where the stipulated time of the basketball game comes to an end and the teams tie in points, an extra time will be offered which will be used to determine the winner of the game.
