Red Bull Half Court, where the world’s best amateur street basketball players will compete, has a big difference from other 3×3 tournaments. That is, the teams participating in the tournament not only win the match, but also try to be the team that scores the most points in total at the end of the tournament. Thus, a team can advance to the next round without winning the largest number of matches.
To win you need to be the first team to reach 21 points
In the Red Bull Half Court 3×3 basketball tournament, teams consist of 3 main and 1 substitute players. Matches are played over 10 minutes or 21 points. The team that reaches 21 points first or has the advantage of scoring at the end of 10 minutes wins the match. If the scores of the two teams are equal at the end of the match, the fight goes to overtime. The team that scores 2 points in overtime also wins the match.
