The size of the basketball ring and shield

For games in basketball, a playground is required, with short edges of which the structures with Baskets. Dimensions of the basketball ring and shield must meet certain requirements. These elements, first of all, are made so strong to ensure the full safety of competing athletes.

The standard size of a basketball ring is 45 cm in diameter. It is possible to increase this parameter to a maximum of 45.7 cm. It always has a bright orange color. To produce the ring, a strong metal is used, the diameter of which is not less than 16 mm. It should be noted that the maximum size of the basketball ring in thickness is allowed to be 20 mm. Among other things, it provides for special devices that are designed to install the grid. These mounts must not allow the player to injure the fingers, so they are made in such a way that they do not have cracks or sharp edges.

Now a few words about how the basketball ring is suspended. On the stand, which is located no closer than two meters from the front line, a shield is mounted at right angles. The design must be installed in such a way that it can not be moved. The basket itself is bolted firmly with the condition that the loads acting on it do not affect the position of the shield in any way. The rings with shock absorbers are also not forbidden, however, provided that the rebound characteristics m As well as other parameters do not change in comparison with the standard version. Moreover, under the condition that the static load is applied to the point of the basket in the extreme from the shield, which is in the range of 82 to 105 kilograms, the fastening system and the shock absorber should not be disconnected. In this case, the ring can be deflected downward from the applied forces by no more than 30 degrees. After the end of their action, it must return to its original position instantly.

The size of the basketball ring in height is 3.05 meters from the level of the site location. The distance from it to the front of the shield is 15 cm. The nets that are used to equip the baskets have twelve fastening loops. Their length should be in the range from 40 to 45 cm. The upper part of them is executed so as not to allow entanglement, throwing on the basket, and also getting stuck or returning the ball in the opposite direction.

Not only the size of the basketball ring, but also the parameters of the shield play an important role. Its width should be 1.8 m, and height - 1.05 meters. The lower part of it is located from the site at an altitude of 2.9 m. The material for the production of the shield is now mostly the tempered glass. Its hardness should correspond to the degree of hardness of the tree, which has a thickness of 3 cm. The edges of the front side are marked by lines 5 cm wide. The structures on which shields hang are covered with soft materials.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the ring attachment system compensates for almost half of the energy that affects it. As for possible deviations of the above parameters, according to the official rules, the difference between two baskets of one playground should not exceed 5 percent.
