When the game is on the line and a team needs a basket in the closing seconds, they need to get the ball in the hands of their best shooter. The ability to succeed in these situations does not come overnight; it is a skill that players can develop through hard work. This skill is sometimes referred to as “Clutch Shooting”.
The Athletix “Buzzer Beater” League will provide clutch shooters an opportunity to measure their shooting proficiency in a controlled yet challenging environment.
The “Buzzer Beater” League is for spot up shooters. Each team is composed of three shooters who compete against another team of three shooters to attain the higher team score in head-to-head competition. A team score is based on the cumulative scores of each team member completing the “Buzzer Beater” Game. Each game a team will compete against another team in the league. Team standings will be maintained, as well as individual/team scores and averages. At the end of the league there will be a 3-point and free throw shooting contest. League awards will be given for team and individual finishes. All standings (team and individual) can be tracked on our EZ Leagues website.
Each team must have 3 players
Overview

- A perimeter shot may be a 3-pointer (beyond 19′ 9″) or a 2-pointer (beyond 15′).
- Perimeter shots must be taken in “around the world” fashion from 5 designated spots: Corner, Wing, Center, Opposite Wing, Opposite Corner
