There will be 2 large square-shaped areas in the same place, where in each area there will be a circle with five baskets of different sizes. Each basket will have a different number of points according to its size. The big basket is worth 5 points, the medium basket is worth 3 points, and the small basket is worth 1 point. The group will choose 2 participants to guard the basket from the ball thrown by the opposing group without crossing the border of the outside of the circle and the inside of the square, and the rest will try to throw as many balls into the basket of the opposing group as possible without going through the boundaries of the outside area of the square.
