Abstract
A plurality of marking elements of various shape, color and numerical value are connected together, in a row, by flexible straps. The marking elements are laid on a playing area and are flexible to remain substantially flat against the playing surface area. A basket, made from the particular area of a marking element, gives a score according to the number on the marking element and this is a measure of the difficulty in making a basket from that point. Competitive team scoring can be made by recording the occurrence of baskets and numerical value assigned each basket according to the player's location.
