Definition: An athletic contest similar to the American basketball, in that points are awarded when a projectile, A, is lodged in a receptacle, B. Matches are usually until someone lodges the baby and we can't find the stick to get it down, or somebody tosses it into the pigeon coop, C, which requires the forbidden "Drunken Ladder Ascent."

Scoring: Points are awarded depending on location of baby launching. One, two and three point areas have been defined (albeit arbitrarily, but such are rules). Run-ups, one-steps and overhands are are always negoitiable, but untraditional.

Play: It seems like turns of 3 shots enjoyed quite some popularity, with Them Up Next acting as rebounder, if a suitably trained and/or willing canine is unavailable.

Wagering: Wagers most often are for who walks to the store to buy cokes, or for who's buying the next bottle.

Winning: There are no winners, sucker.
