“Crunch”, also known as “21″, is a game where every player is for himself and the goal is to score exactly 21 points. Here are the rules of the variation of the game that Octane Infinity plays:
- The game starts with a player shooting an uncontested shot from the 3-point line. As the shot goes up, the other players vie for the rebound, the ball is considered “live”, and the players may guard the ballhandler.
- For each change in possession of the basketball, the player must clear the ball at the 3-point line. Once cleared, only then may the player shoot the ball. Scoring is the same as a regular basketball game, where shots made outside the 3-point line are worth 3 points and field goals made inside the 3-point line are worth 2 points.
- When a player makes a field goal, he shoots free throws, each worth 1 point, until he makes three in a row or misses a shot. However, the ball is again considered “live” as soon as the free throw shooter misses. The rebounder must then clear the basketball to the 3-point line before taking a shot, and at which point, the baskets are back to being worth 2 or 3 points.
- If the free throw shooter makes all three free throws in a row, he then takes possession of the ball to the top of the key, where the other players may guard him, and the field goals are worth 2 or 3 points.
- The winner is the first player to reach exactly 21 points. If a player with 20 points misses a free throw, the next basket that player makes will put him over 21, which then results in reducing his score back to 13.
