ShiftyPowers said:We always called it hustle, where it's a complete free for all for scoring. You do anything you can to score, and everyone else does everything they can do to make you not score, fouls are basically encouraged. Any two point shot is 2 points, 3 point shots are 3 points, but whenever you make a shot, you go to the Free Throw Line (or the 3 point line) and you either get to shoot until you miss for 1 point shots, or you shoot until you miss up to 3 and then you take the ball out.
Cool. That's "American" you just described. And the way I've always played it (even in America) is that all shots no matter where you score them from count as 1. Once you score, you take the ball behind the three point line for another one pointer, if you score, you either check the ball and start being hounded and guarded by the others on the floor, or sometimes, if everyone is feeling lazy, you shoot for another shot before checking the ball.
