Make it, take it
The scorer keeps possession after every basket. Play restarts with a check-ball at the top of the key.
Winner keeps court
The winner stays on and takes on the next challenger. The beaten player leaves the court.
Knockout
Once the winners have matched up, players go into a knockout until the event King or Queen of the Court is crowned.
