ThreePoint

ThreePoint brings the basketball three-point contest to your phone as a timing game. HOW TO PLAY Hold the screen and the player dips and jumps; the ball leaves the hand the moment you lift your finger. The right moment is the top of the jump. Release too early and the ball falls short, too late and it goes long. CONTEST RULES • The clock is 140 seconds; walking and picking up balls count against it. • 5 balls from each of 8 spots, 40 balls in total. • On the five three-point spots each ball is 1 point and the color ball on the rack is 3. • On the two deep three spots each ball is 3 points; at half court it is 7. • The maximum score is 100. SINGLE-PLAYER MODES (no internet connection needed) • Contest: the full 140-second contest. • Tournament: the top three of an eight-player first round reach the final. Each win opens the next tournament and its venue: Street Tournament, School League, Beach Cup, Rooftop Cup, National Championship, All-Star Tournament. • Daily: one attempt a day; the color balls sit in a different rack position every day. • Streak: shoot from the top with 3 lives; every miss costs one and five swishes in a row earn one back. The green zone narrows with every make. • Two players: take turns on one phone, one contest each; scores and shot maps are compared at the end. • Practice: no clock; shoot from one spot and show or hide the power bar. ONLINE MODES (internet connection needed) • Challenge: send the code you create to friends; everyone plays the same game (Contest or Streak) until time runs out. • Quick duel: play against the earlier contest of a player near your rating. • Weekly tournament: in the qualifier you can try again until it closes and your best score counts; the top 8 reach the final, which is one attempt. • Rankings and leagues: duels and the tournament change your rating, across the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Star leagues. Online modes use a nickname. An inappropriate nickname can be reported by tapping its row in a ranking. VENUES AND LOOKS Six courts: arena, night arena, street, school gym, rooftop and beach.
