How to Play Arcade Alley Electronic Basketball

Check that there are batteries inserted into the score keeping timer. Two AA batteries are required for game play.

Squeeze each of the basketballs that are included with the game system to make sure they are fully inflated. If one or both happen to be flat, use the pump that is included with the parts. Inflation is important because flat balls do not spring or bounce as well as inflated ones.

Turn on the electronic score keeping timer.

Begin play by shooting the basketballs as quickly as you can through the plastic hoop one at a time. Points are earned by putting the ball through the hoop. Consistency and accuracy will help improve your score over time.

Retrieve the ball if it bounces out of the netted play area. Remember to do this quickly since it will likely shave seconds off the clock.
