The 2012 game, Rebound Rumble℠, is played between two Alliances of three teams each. Each Alliance competes by trying to score as many of the basketballs in the hoops as possible during the 2-minute and 15-second match.
Balls scored in higher hoops score Alliances more points. Three points for the top hoop, two points for two middle hoops and one point for the bottom hoop. Alliances are awarded bonus points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match. In matches where opposing Alliances work together to balance on the white bridge, all participating teams earn additional valuable seeding points.
Regional tournaments are held in sports arenas all over the country with teams competing for a chance to move onto the Championship Event in St. Louis from April 26th-28th. Visit the FIRST website to find more information on this year's game or to find a tournament in your area
