Six teams fight for four playoff-spots.  In the playoffs, if you lose you go home. Standings:       W        L       GB Rumble             7          2        -- Bouncers          5          4        2 Diablos             5          4        2 Steal                 4          5        3 Mob                 4          5        3 Slashers            2          7        5 Not all scores are available.

Each team has eight players, four play at one time.  They have a handler (point guard), two gunners (shooting guard or small forward), and a stopper (defensive center).  They play inside plexiglass on a court with four trampolines that shoot them 17 feet up.  Each game has two eight-minute halfs.        The game starts with a bounce-off.  Then the teams start the show.  Points are scored as in basketball, except dunks are worth three points.  There is no inbounding, except after timeouts and faceoffs.        Faceoffs are when the foul-commiter goes to block the man who got fouled one-on-one. The team who drew the foul gets the ball back.  Three fouls and you are gone.       Turnover Scenarios: 2 players on island.  Charging.  2 players on trampoline.  An offensive player jumping from one tramp to another if defender is back.  Jumpball goes to defense. An offensive player diving into the tramps for a loose ball.        Faceoff Scenarios: Holding. Contact while offensive player is airborne. Popcorn effect (Deadening offensive bounce).  Contact after whistle.  Hit before dribble.  Jumping forward to stop offense.        Goaltending: Hanging on the rim only on perimeter threes.
