In-game descriptions

 * Objective
 * Score points!


 * Description
 * Score points by getting balls into the opposing team's basket - work together to get the win!

Standard version
Basketfall is a two-way team game.

Various Basketballs are spawned, which can be carried by players. The goal of the game is to carry the balls into the other team's basket. Both baskets slowly rotate, and are surrounded by a low-gravity zone. The team with the most points moves on to the next round. Occasionally a gold basketball worth 3 points will spawn.

Overtime
If both teams are tied when the timer expires, the round will go into overtime, ending when the first team scores a point.

Course Changes

 * From 2021-05-13 and onward the low-gravity zones correspond to the team's colour.

Alternate Versions
As of 2021-05-13, the following variants may occur:
 * The speed bump at the center of the arena may be replaced by a spinning plate.
 * The center speed bump may also be replaced by a blizzard fan.
 * The spinning plates just before the gravity zones may be replaced by blizzard fans.
 * Four punching gloves (two per side) may be present right next to the gravity zones.

Dunking
Dunking is the easiest and most optimal method of scoring points in Basketfall. This involves simply jumping into a basket while holding a basketball. Doing so will respawn you at the center of the map, allowing you to quickly pick up the next basketball that spawns.

Defending
Alternatively, you can try to prevent the other team from scoring points. Grabbing a player holding a basketball will make them drop it, giving you a chance to steal it for yourself. For best results, try to throw the ball away from your team's basket by diving while holding the ball.

Shooting
If there are defenders on your tail, dunking may become more difficult. In this scenario, it may be better to shoot the ball into the basket from afar by jumping and diving while holding the ball. Keep in mind that this technique is advanced and will take some practice to effectively employ.

Miscellaneous

 * If you dunk a basketball, pay careful attention to the orientation you are facing in when you respawn. Chances are you will be facing your own team's side instead of the opponent team's side. Make sure you're not spacing out and accidentally scoring in your own team's baskets.
 * In fact, this is a key tip in general. Unlike Egg Scramble and Egg Siege, you score points by getting basketballs into the other team's baskets, not your own.

Medal thresholds
Medals are determined by raw goals scored.


 * Gold - Scored 20 or more goals and qualified
 * Silver - Scored 10-19 goals and qualified
 * Bronze - Scored 3-9 goals and qualified
 * Pink - Scored 1-2 goals and qualified
 * No medal - Eliminated

These medals inexplicably do not apply in the Slam Dunk playlist, as every medal is pink regardless of score.

Trivia

 * Before Season 4.5 Dave, the Gravity Zone over the yellow team's baskets used to be blue like all other low gravity zones in the game. It was changed to yellow, while retaining the same functionality as before to avoid confusion.
 * Because of this, the yellow team’s Gravity zone in this map is the only one of these zones to be a different colour.
 * This is one of only two maps to be based on a real life sport, the other being Fall Ball.
