ABSTRACT:
A self-standing game assembly for indoor and outdoor use and having a standard including a bounce-back base supporting a height adjustable post. A post-mounted backboard projects upwardly from the post and a stress-responsive safety hoop or ring, pivotally secured at a base of the backboard, carries a hanging, tubular basket. The backboard is imprinted with indicia designating reference impact areas for use during the playing of various games involving a thrown ball directed toward the backboard. The base of the assembly is generally wedge-shaped, and is contoured to present to a ball dropped through the basket a pitched or angled impact face which serves to direct a ball which has fallen through the hoop, and which has then impinged on the pedestal to return toward a player positioned in front of and facing the backboard.
