ABSTRACT:
A game includes a non-spherical, non-rolling ball that is used in combination with a basket supported above the playing surface by support legs. The basket has a rim defined by square, channel shaped, members defining downwardly opening grooves and the legs may be pivoted upwardly into the grooves. The basket is positioned in a playing area and a boundary is marked around the basket. The players attempt to throw the ball into the basket from a number of shooting positions around the boundary. A game ball includes an inflatable cubic bladder. A plurality of stiffeners are disposed within the bladder. The stiffeners include passages with valves that permit the passage of gases through the stiffeners to equalize pressure within chambers formed by the stiffeners.
