ABSTRACT:
The scoring during a basketball game is controlled by an assembly that is connected to the game period ending buzzer circuit to automatically close the basket net when the buzzer circuit is activated to signal the end of a period of the game. The assembly includes a cord intertwined in the net and connected to a spring. The spring biases the cord into a net closing position, and the assembly further includes a spring override system that prevents the spring bias from closing the net during the game. The spring override system is connected to the period ending buzzer circuit to be released at the end of a period. The spring override system can be set to delay the release of the spring for any suitable length of time if desired.
