I'll take a shot:
Chipmunk would be where the mouth guard was inside the mouth, but not covering the teeth and rolled to the side.
Correct.
Double bubble would be having it in backwards with the points sticking out the corners of the mouth.
Nope. Protuding out of the mouth like a bubble gum bubble.
Fish hook would be having it sticking out the corner of your mouth so that it curves back up the jaw toward the ear.

Correct again.
Our state has a state rule that a mouthguard covering front teeth and molars must be worn during basketball games with the exception of the dead balls during a time out or the first of multilple free throws [first 2 for a 3 shot foul]. Some states like NH have a more severe penalty than a send off [automatic T]. Not all states have this rule of course.
