2pt or 3pt?

[Valley Man]

Apparently this play was discussed on 5 Play Friday

A1 sends a pass to A2. A1 releases the pass to A2 behind the arc and B2 inside the arc deflects the pass into Team A goal.

Score 2 or 3?

Relevant rules use the word THROWN to mean different things. In 4-41-2 "thrown" means a try. In 5-2-1 try and tap are already used and the rule uses "thrown" as a 3rd method.


4-41-2 A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score 2 or three points by throwing the ball into a teams own basket. A player is trying for goal when the player has the ball, and in the official judgment is throwing or attempting to throw for goal.

5-2-1 A successful try tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the teams own 19'9" arc counts three points. A ball that touches the floor, a teammate inside the ark and official or any other goal from the field counts two points for the team into basket, the ball is thrown.
