Abstract
Apparatus for a game to be played with a ball including a basket assembly adapted to be mounted to a ceiling or other elevated horizontal surface and defining at least two openings at a bottom thereof receivable of the ball. The basket assembly defines an interior space adjacent and above the openings such that the ball enters into the interior space of the basket assembly when passing in an upward direction through the openings. The interior space in the basket assembly adjacent to and above each opening constitutes a basket. Points are scored upon the passage of the ball through one of the openings into a basket. If the openings are connected to one another, then points can be scored when the ball passes into one basket and through the interior space of the basket assembly to the other basket.
