A Bankshot player goes from one station to the next. At each station, you bank shots off the bankboards and through the nets, as shown below. Depending on where you shoot from, you get a different number of points.

Scoring

Colored circles mark the shooting spots (right). You make two shots from each circle, and you must complete all three circles for each station before moving on to the next station.
