**Core Elements:**
- Basketball
- Maze Running

**Objective:**
Players must navigate a modular maze while dribbling or passing a basketball and attempt to score in one of several hoops placed throughout the maze.

---

**Teams & Players:**
- 2 teams of 4 active players each.
- 1 substitute per team.
- Games played in 2 halves of 10 minutes.

---

**Field Setup:**
- Modular maze grid (30ft x 40ft) with adjustable panels and movable obstacles.
- 4 scoring hoops placed at various maze exits or corners.
- Maze changes slightly between halves (3 panels moved randomly).

---

**Basic Rules:**
1. Teams start from opposing ends of the maze with 1 ball per team.
2. Players must dribble while navigating and may pass through maze walls via designated tunnels.
3. Blocking or trapping players in corners is not allowed.
4. First to score in any hoop earns 2 points; long shots (outside a marked area) are worth 3 points.
5. If both teams score within 15 seconds of each other, it is a “split score” and each receives 1 point.

---

**Scoring:**
- Hoops score as in basketball.
- Bonus 1 point awarded for first team to complete a full loop through the maze before scoring.
- Total score tallied at the end of both halves.

---

**Maze Rules:**
- No jumping over walls.
- If ball is lost out of bounds, possession changes.
- Designated “reset zones” must be used after a score.

---

**Twist / Chaos Element:**
- “Maze Shift”: Mid-game, referees rotate 3 maze panels, creating new paths or blocks.
- “Fog Zone”: 1 quadrant of the maze may include a soft fog machine for light visibility interference.

---

**Safety Notes:**
- Non-slip flooring required.
- Maze walls must be padded.
- Referees enforce pacing and penalize obstruction tactics.

---

**Setup Time:** 30–45 minutes  
**Play Time:** ~25 minutes per match
