The aim of this research was to analyze the most common ways of scoring points at the 2nd European Baskin Cup, held in Schio, Italy, in 2023. The sample included 4 matches, with 224 registered cases analyzed. These cases included the scoring location, the role of the scorer, the type of attack, and the differences between winning and losing teams. The contingency analysis showed a significant association between match difficulty and the role of the scorer (p=0.021), indicating that in close matches, most points were scored by players in role 5. However, the Chi-square test revealed no significant association between the scorer's role and match outcome (p=0.322), type of attack and match outcome (p=0.859), or position of the scorer and match outcome (p=0.389). The analysis indicates that players in role 5 were the most dominant in scoring points across all match types, with a particular emphasis on uncertain games. Additionally, two-man plays were the most common attacking strategy, and shooting from the paint proved crucial for success, with losing teams struggling to capitalize on this method.
