Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9819756A1] This invention in an apparatus for use in a round ball rebounding game played on a circular court consisting of a spherical structure (8) supported by a single pole (14), and having a plurality of goals (22, 24, 26) placed at equidistant intervals about the maximum horizontal diameter of the sphere, and parallel to the playing surface (52). The apparatus further comprises a plurality of discharge tubes (36, 38, 40) inserted into the bottom of the sphere, said number of tubes corresponding to the number of goals. Openings are further cut into the sphere relative to the position of each goal such that a net (39, 32, 34) attached to the bottom of each goal can direct a round ball into the interior of the sphere, with the ball eventually departing the bottom of the sphere through one of the discharge tubes which then deposit the ball at the base of the structure along the playing surface.
