  5. The first possession of every game is decided by rock, paper, scissors. The team that wins, will check the ball first at the Triple Threat Streetball logo check-point (located top of key, above 3-point line).
  6. Basketball is checked at the Triple Threat Streetball logo checkpoint after every point, foul, or out-of-bounds. Teams must restart and check-ball within 10 seconds to avoid turnover (mutual agreement between players).

If the free throw is missed, then that team player is out unless all the shooters in that round miss then the free throw shootout will restart.
