If the points are level after running the 12th hoop, the game is decided by contesting hoop 3 again as the 13th hoop. The game is usually played as a "best of 13 point" game, and stops as soon as one player has scored 7. The hoops are run in the order and direction shown in Diagram 1. The side scoring the hoop may place one of their scoring clips on the hoop.ħ. Each hoop is scored only once, for one side or the other. All players then move on from where their balls currently are to contest hoop 2, and so on around the court. ![]() As soon as any player completes the running of hoop 1, then the hoop point is scored for that side.
