Couldn't find any basketball stuff so I followed the Spirit link cause I was kinda thirsty. You woudn't believe the kind of holy heck they deal with. Here is just the first page and I am sure I failed
And such language, mind you. Inverted flyers, side mounted somesuchthing, suspended splits!!!

And the absolute most lurid one of all, not making this stuff up, shades of Amsterdam...:o

the release must be a continuous, vertical up-and-down movement in which the flyer remains over the base
