North Korea rewrites basketball rules

[Rivercard]

Do you like any of these? The free throw rule is interesting

----------------------------------------------------

NORTH KOREA'S BASKETBALL SCORING RULES

- Slam dunks are worth three points (up from two)

- Field goals in the final three minutes of the game are worth eight points (up from two)

- Three-pointers are worth four if the ball doesn't touch the rim

- A point is deducted for missed free throws

I do not like any of them.

The deduction for missed free throws could really change the game into a shooters league which it is already.. ..especially during the last 5 minutes of a game.

The NBA is too finesse already.

Save all of your fouls until the last three minutes, then hack anyone who might possibly be thinking about shooting.

Wait, this is like that All-Star game with the ZONES on the floor with different scoring point totals.

AWESOME!

I am still waiting for what the NHL tried. I want in NBA Jam fashion to see overlay graphics on someones shots when they are ON FIRE on live TV.

North Korea? I was expecting something like "shoot the losers."

They also added:

- An hour prior to game time, one land mine will be placed somewhere on the court. A mandatory one minute time out session shall immediately follow detonation. Play then resumes.

You would need more than a minute to pick up the loose limbs.

I believe limbs are treated like referees in that they are part of the court.

Ah. That makes sense then.
