Function Description:

BucketBall is a game where players attempt to throw a ball into their opponent's buckets. The primary objective is to eliminate all of the opposing team's buckets to win the game. It is suitable for various skill levels, with adjustable court distances to accommodate beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. The game promotes outdoor activity and social interaction, making it ideal for tailgates, beach trips, backyard gatherings, and other events.

3. Bucket Removal: If a ball successfully lands in a bucket, that bucket is removed from play.

5. End of Game:
  - A team wins by eliminating all of the opposing team's buckets.
