Summarize:

Around the World is all about accuracy and consistency when shooting. You set five or more spots in an arc around the basket. Each player gets two shots at each spot. If you make it, you move on to the next one. If you miss two in a row, you start from scratch. The first player all the way around wins. You need at least two players. However, there is no upper limit on the number of people that can play. You want to make a small half-circle around the basket. If you're new to the game, set it up around the key, the rectangle in front of the goal. If you're experienced you can back up, even setting every spot around the three point line. You want to make a half-circle, representing the world, so that you have to shoot from every angle and on both sides of the basket. However, you should feel free to pick whatever spots you want. Mark them with tape or chalk. In general, you want your spots evenly spaced out. You can have as many spots as you want, depending on how long you want the game to go on for. Some people like to add the free-throw line as the first and last shot -- your "home base."
Win by making every shot "around the world"before everyone else. Select your "world spots" before the game starts.
