Baskin is an inclusive team sport that allows individuals with and without disabilities to play together, with roles and scoring systems adapted to functional abilities. Despite its innovative design, Baskin remains little studied at the international level, particularly in relation to the technical and tactical factors that influence competitive outcomes. The present study analyzed scoring distributions and point production patterns at the International Baskin Tournament held in Tortona, Italy, in September 2024, within the framework of the Eurohoop for All 2.0 project. A total of 527 points from eight games were examined according to basket type (traditional or side), shooting position, and player role, in line with official Baskin rules. Results showed that higher-ranked teams scored a greater proportion of their total points on the traditional basket, while points from the side sector of the side basket were also more frequent among these teams. Role 5 players contributed the majority of points, underlining their decisive impact, whereas role 2 and role 3 players provided important contributions through side-basket play. By contrast, the numerical value of the points (1, 2, or 3) did not differentiate between winning and losing teams. These findings suggest that success in Baskin is shaped not by point values themselves but by the functional integration of different roles and the tactical exploitation of multiple scoring opportunities, underscoring both the competitive and inclusive dimensions of the sport.
