COURT –
Anywhere Basketball by Franklin is designed to be played in inside and is a fun twist on some of our other
basketball games. Players are trying to reach a score of 21. Players choose who will be shooting first. The
player first up to shoot will choose the location their first shot will be thrown from. This location will be the
same location used by all the other players and their first shot. When a player scores a point, they will
choose the next location to shoot from and they will be the first ones to shoot.
SCORING –
Each time the ball is landed in the net, it is a potential one point. Players are able to snag points from
one-another. For example, if there are three players (A,B,C) and player A chooses the shot location, shoots
the ball and the ball goes through the net they have scored one point. However, the following two players
(B,C) have a chance to snag player A’s point. To do this, player B will shoot the ball from the same location
that A did. If player B gets the ball through the net, then player B will snag player A’s point. When this
happens, player C now has the chance to steal player B’s point. If both players B and C miss when trying to
steal player A’s point, player A will score 1 point. In the case that no players score points the person that
shot first may choose another location to shoot the next round from. Players will play until one of the
players reach 21.

Overview

The Franklin Anywhere Basketball (Item Number: 54300) is a portable, indoor basketball game designed for players aged 8 and up, offering a fun and competitive experience with a unique scoring system. The game aims to provide a twist on traditional basketball, focusing on strategic play and the ability to "snag" points from opponents.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Anywhere Basketball game is to allow players to compete to reach a score of 21 points. It involves shooting a mini basketball into a net attached to a backboard. The game's unique scoring mechanism allows for dynamic play where points can be stolen by subsequent players, adding an element of strategy and excitement beyond simply making a shot.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Item Number: 54300
  • Age Recommendation: Ages 8+
  • Components: The game includes a Backboard with Net, Self-Stick Holders, Holder Caps, a Basketball, and a Pump with Needle.
  • Mounting: The backboard is designed to be adhered to a playing surface using self-stick holders, making it suitable for indoor use on various smooth surfaces.
  • Portability: The compact size and self-adhesive mounting system suggest high portability, allowing the game to be set up in different indoor locations.

Usage Features:

  • Gameplay Objective: Players compete to be the first to reach a score of 21 points.
  • Court Setup: The game is designed for indoor play. Players decide who shoots first. The first player chooses the initial shooting location, which all subsequent players must use for their first shot in that round.
  • Dynamic Scoring System:
    • When a player (e.g., Player A) shoots the ball through the net, they score one potential point.
    • Subsequent players (e.g., Player B, Player C) then have a chance to "snag" Player A's point by shooting the ball through the net from the same location.
    • If Player B makes the shot, they steal Player A's point. Player C then has a chance to steal Player B's point.
    • If both Player B and Player C miss, Player A secures the point.
    • If no players score points in a round, the person who shot first chooses a new location for the next round.
    • When a player scores a point (either by making a shot and not having it stolen, or by stealing a point), they get to choose the next shooting location and shoot first in the subsequent round.
  • Strategic Element: The "snagging" mechanism encourages players to not only make their own shots but also to strategically attempt to steal points from opponents, adding a layer of competitive interaction.
  • Assembly: The assembly process is straightforward, involving four main steps:
    1. Attaching the net to the backboard (if not pre-assembled).
    2. Inserting the Self-Stick Holders through the backboard and securing them with Holder Caps.
    3. Peeling the backing tape off the Self-Stick Holders and adhering the backboard to the desired playing surface.
    4. Inflating the basketball using the provided pump and needle.
  • General Note on Assembly: Users are instructed to remove all parts from the box and verify them against the parts list before beginning assembly.

Maintenance Features:

  • Replacement Parts: Franklin Sports provides comprehensive support for replacement parts. Users can visit www.franklinsports.com/54300, email replacementparts@franklinsports.com, or call 1-800-225-8649 for assistance. This ensures the longevity of the product by allowing users to easily replace worn or lost components.
  • Inflation: The inclusion of a pump and needle allows for easy maintenance of the basketball's inflation, ensuring optimal bounce and playability.
  • Cleaning: While not explicitly stated, the nature of an indoor game suggests that components can be wiped clean as needed. The self-stick holders may require occasional cleaning of the adhesive surface or replacement if their stickiness diminishes over time.
  • Choking Hazard Warning: A clear warning is provided regarding small parts, indicating a choking hazard for children under 3 years. This highlights an important safety consideration for maintenance and storage, especially in households with very young children.

The Franklin Anywhere Basketball offers a unique and engaging indoor sports experience, combining simple setup with a strategic scoring system that keeps the game dynamic and competitive for players aged 8 and up.
