player to take a fourth free throw and intentionally miss if he has made all 3 free throws, instead of just returning the ball to him A player can attempt a 3-pointer instead of attempting three free throws Variations on what a score is reset to if 21 is exceeded (7, 10, 11, 13, and 15 are common) "Wotring Rule" "Taps" or "Tips" : With these rules, if a player jumps up, gets a rebound in the air and makes a shot before touching the ground, the player who initially shot the ball is said to have been "tapped," or "tipped,". This can result in their score being reset to zero or 11, or the tapper "stealing" 5 points from shooter. In some games, if a player gets tapped 3 times, or if their score is already zero, they are out of the game. In another variation, if a player is tapped using only one hand, they are immediately eliminated. Once eliminated, a player can only return to the game by catching an airball of a player currently in the game. If three-pointers are used instead of free-throws and the player is on 20 and shooting for the win, the player must make an extra long three-pointer to win the game. (This type of finishing is used with experienced players and even then causes the game to last a prolonged time.) If a player who has 11 points misses the next shot, regardless of whether it is a free throw, then that player's points revert to 0. This is referred to as "poison points". Players with fewer than 11 points at the end of a game keep their points into the next game (a sort of handicapping system for when there is a wide variation in skill between the players). After exactly 21 points are reached, the player must make a final 3-pointer. When a player makes his 21st point and is playing with "tips" or "taps" the shooter must miss his free throw but also hit the rim. This gives the other players a chance to spoil the win and steal points from the shooter. If the game was started without a traditional jump ball, then the player(s) who did not receive the ball first receive 1 chance to even the game "Breaking the ice" : There is no penalty for going over 21, but if a player scores
