I made this game up last night by moving the players up to the top of the circle and the rule was that the Jokers at the point must shoot a wrist or snap shot and couldn't pass. The focus was to get the attackers to screen, tip and rebound and the defenders to communicate who covers who, box out, take sticks, seal stick to the outside and battle for rebounds AFTER they tie up the sticks. A good sequence is to start with 1-1, then 2-2 and then 3-3 and have about 20" shifts. I will get a video the next time we do it.
