Options

a) Regular

On a stop or score, defending team X attacks team 2.

When team 2 gets possession, team O defends the attack.
 
Ian MacKinnon - 5 on 5 on 5, no dribbling, the third team is out of bounds at halfcourt, comes in on a stop or score, and can pick up fullcourt.

b) UNLV

If attacking team O scores they attack team 2.

As in option (a), team X attacks team 2 if it stops team O.

c) UNLV plus pressing

If defending team X gets the ball on a stop, team O can press in the halfcourt to win the ball back, then attack the other way against team 2.

If team O scores, it must inbounds the ball to attack team 2, and team X can press to get the ball and attack team 2.

Option - 1 point if a team wins the ball on the press and is able to cross halfcourt with it.

Variations

- 2 on 2 or 3 on 3, and team 2 is on the floor at halfcourt ready to defend once the ball crosses centre (simulates full-court pressure)
- one or two delay defenders for the team waiting to defend.
 
Dave Arseneault - 5 on 5 on 5, make-it take-it with pressing, attackers have 10 seconds to shoot once the ball crosses halfcourt or place the ball on the floor and defend.
