The participants line up at the free-throw line in a single collone, with the two foremost participants in possession of the ball. The first participant throws the ball from the free-throw line to the basket. If he scores, he immediately passes the ball to the next participant in the column without the ball. Otherwise, he throws the ball at the basket in compliance with the baseball rules until a hit is made before he can hand the ball to the next thrower. From the first throw of the person in front, the second participant may also attempt to score a basket with the ball. If the person in the back makes a successful attempt faster than the person in front, the person in front is eliminated. If the person in front scores first, the game continues and the ball is passed to the next thrower until the person in front is overtaken by the person behind. At the end of the game, only two throwers duel, who take the ball again after a successful basket shot and, starting from the free throw line, try to catch up with the person in front. As soon as a winner has been chosen, all participants line up again in the column (if necessary according to the ranking of the preliminary round) to start a new round. The sports director may define an additional task for participants who have already been eliminated (e.g. wall sit, global forearm support, side support).
