KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -A free throw is worth one point. Free throws are awarded to a team according to some formats involving the number of fouls committed in a half and/or the type of foul committed.

Detailed explanation-2: -In basketball, a one-and-one means that a player is given one free throw with the chance to attempt another one if they make the first one. In college basketball, this occurs upon the opponent’s seventh foul of a half but moves to two automatic shots on a team’s tenth foul.

Detailed explanation-3: -This matches normal scoring, in which baskets inside the “three-point” arc are worth 1 point and those from outside the arc are worth 2 points. A player fouled on a missed basket attempt normally receives a number of free throws equal to the value of the attempted shot (either 1 or 2).

Detailed explanation-4: -Free throws are only 1 point because they are determined by the number of points scored, not the amount of shots made. If a shot is taken in front of or behind the three-point line, the point value changes. If a player misses the shot, they receive one free throw and that’s it.

Detailed explanation-5: -A made free throw is worth one point. The number of free throws is determined by the foul committed by the opposing player or team. If a player is fouled in the shooting motion, they will get two free throws if they were inside of the three-point line and three free throws if they were behind the three-point line.
