How about

Don't take it so seriously that you start fights every time you show up. Or get angry and take your ball home.

Playing 1s and 2s is lame no matter how many people are sitting out.

ataylor

5/1/15 12:03pm

it's how it's done.. but our games are only to 7, cap 11

Only thing I would change is girls can stay and cheer

The best teams all press in my experience...

Noni Fruit

I think he is referring to weeknight/Saturday AM pickup games rather than actual

ataylor

these are pickup games

Any full-court press in pickup ball should be pretty easy to break if you're

Every once in a while is fine, but a concentrated, game-long full court press

Isn't playing to 11 by 1's/2's longer than to 15 by 2's/3's?

Beest

5/1/15 12:11pm

Yes. Not only does it take longer simply in terms of points needed to win, but

ataylor

5/1/15 12:14pm

yep. amendment. never 1 & 2's

boogers

5/1/15 12:15pm

nice! Also, if playing 3x3, go full court, no passing until past half court

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:14pm

3-on-3 should never be played full court unless you're in one of those tiny

ataylor

5/1/15 12:16pm

4 X 4 full-court is perfect, IMO

scottpete

5/1/15 12:34pm

Like I said, it totally depends on who's playing. If you're playing with good

ataylor

5/1/15 12:54pm

I love it! But I like getting up and down the court

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:39pm

Ok, but I'm too old and not palying no 3x3 full court.

boogers

5/1/15 12:16pm

Winning team holds court for 2 only games. I hate that

squidmark

5/1/15 12:15pm

I like the 2 games, because then you can mix up the teams again

billyrust

5/1/15 12:17pm

I hate playing with guys the bring their 'posse' and try to dominate

boogers

5/1/15 12:26pm

Or new guys showing up and quickly complaining that they aren't getting the ball

GSwarriorcoug

5/1/15 12:35pm

Wait - so you only care about winning if you get to keep playing?

Eddie

5/1/15 12:32pm

No -- I didn't state that very well. I meant you might as well just state the

squidmark

5/1/15 1:22pm

If you have <16, there's no point playing more than three games w/ same team

CoopDizz

5/1/15 12:54pm

I get "offense calls fouls" but I personally didn't like calling any unless they

billyrust

5/1/15 12:15pm

I like both sides calling fouls

CoopDizz

5/1/15 12:55pm

teams are chosen by shooting free throws.

blueaussie

Do you play with me twice a week? We have all those except a few.

GSwarriorcoug

5/1/15 12:21pm

How about

Tip Tucker

5/1/15 12:22pm

Invited friends shouldn't invite more friends.

CougsOrDeath

5/1/15 12:24pm

Exactly. You've been invited because you've been vetted by the invitee

kotacoug

5/1/15 12:38pm

Yep very true and if everybody just brings one more friend you go from 12 to 18.

CougsOrDeath

5/1/15 12:45pm

Nice list, pretty consistently played

Reedme

5/1/15 12:35pm

One way of playing with more than 10 that works really well is to have subs

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:42pm

I like having short games and no subs, because they play harder and smarter if

GSwarriorcoug

5/1/15 12:48pm

You mean people don't play as hard when there isn't something to play for?

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:53pm

Not really. They are going to play 13 games whether or not there is a conf

I would only add "No Cherry Picking"

Anae4Anae

5/1/15 12:47pm

what?!? I thought cherry picking was strategy #1 in church ball.
