A useful example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
