Abstract: A method of authorizing participation in a game played on a substantially level and smooth surface, having rectangular shape and length and width of smaller dimension than any standard conventional basketball court, and rings vertically raised from the surface and disposed adjacent each end of the surface, each of the rings having slightly larger diameter than any standard conventional basketball, includes applying for authorization; reviewing to determine rejection or allowance; granting authorization only if the step of reviewing determined allowance; permitting entry for next participation only if and after performing the step of granting; and discerning the authorization prior to participation.
