Welcome to tonight's Elimination Challenge, Balls In
This challenge will test your deductive reasoning skills and your stroke of luck.
This challenge will last 5 rounds with each round having the competitor take a turn on Offense and Defense.
Each defensive player will guard 5 baskets with 5 scoring positions labeled 1 to 5.
During each turn, the offensive player will select 2 of the 5 baskets to score a ball in and will choose to either THROW or TACKLE the balls into the spots chosen. They can choose to THROW 1 and TACKLE 1 or THROW both or TACKLE both.
The player on Defense will select 3 of the 5 baskets to defend.
Scoring results based on the following scenarios:
--If the Offense throws a ball and it is at a spot that is defended then the player will NOT SCORE.
--If the Offense throws a ball and it is at a spot that is NOT defended then the offensive player scores 1 point.
--If the Offense tackles a ball and it is at a spot that is NOT defended then the offensive player scores 2 POINTS.
--If the Offense tackles a ball and it is at a spot that is defended then not only will you not score but the player on DEFENSE will EARN 1 POINT.
So throwing the ball has little risk but little reward. Tackling the ball you risk helping your opponent but you could earn a greater reward.
After 5 rounds, the player with the most points in each match up will win the Elimination Challenge and remain in the game.
The losers will be eliminated and as one final opportunity, choose 1 player still in the game to give an advantage to in the next round.
Any questions?
