KNOTTR · 3X3 BASKETBALL SYSTEMS
KNOTTR equipment built around the competition level.
The playing surface is only one part of a complete 3x3 court. Apollo can coordinate the backstop, backboard, pressure-release ring, padding, integrated 3x3 shot-clock pathway, event scoring / display interfaces and supporting court infrastructure around the selected 3x3 package. Where FIBA approval is required, the exact current approved equipment model and licence are matched to the quoted package.

Product details
Match the hardware package to the level of play
Competition, club, community and event courts do not need the same equipment architecture. The exact backstop and timing package is selected after the playing level, portability, environment, site interfaces and local responsibilities are confirmed.
01Competition backstop
Current FIBA Level 1 approved pathwayFor elite competition projects, Apollo selects from the current official FIBA 3x3 approved backstop catalogue and retains the exact product/licence mapping with the quotation.
02Club / event backstop
FIBA Level 2 or approved higher pathwayPortable competition equipment is selected around playing level, stability, storage, venue changeover and the supporting base.
03Official backboard reference
1,800 × 1,050 mmCurrent FIBA 3x3 equipment guidance uses a 1,800 × 1,050 mm backboard. Level 1 uses non-reflective laminated or tempered safety glass in the specified thickness range.
04Ring + net
Pressure-release competition pathwayThe exact ring, net and backboard assembly follows the selected backstop system and its current competition approval where required.
05Padding
Backboard + support-structure protectionCompetition equipment includes defined padding around the backboard and support structure. Level 1 presentation and dimensions follow the current FIBA equipment specification.
063x3 shot clock
Integrated competition pathwayThe current primary Level 1 equipment route includes the 3x3 shot clock with the backstop package. Exact control, power, display and weather-protection details are confirmed from the supplied technical pack.
07Scoring / event display
Project-specificDo not assume a conventional indoor 5×5 scoreboard or software package is suitable for 3x3. Any scoring, display or event-control system is separately confirmed as 3x3-compatible before quotation.
083x3 basketball
Current FIBA-approved ball pathwayFor competition projects, the supplied ball route is matched to current FIBA 3x3 requirements and approval status.
09Power + data
Project-specificPower distribution, communications, data links, controls, outdoor protection and local electrical compliance are resolved with the destination project team.
10Branding
Manufacturer identity retained on approved equipmentFIBA-approved equipment retains required manufacturer identification. Sponsor or distributor branding is only applied where permitted by the approved manufacturer and applicable FIBA rules.
Apollo is supply-only. Final foundations, civil works, electrical design, installation, commissioning and local approvals remain destination-project responsibilities unless expressly included. Exact FIBA approval applies only to the current quoted product and licence.
3x3 equipment comparison
Do not over-specify every court — but do not under-specify competition equipment.
The right equipment pathway follows the actual level of play and operating model. FIBA approval applies to the exact current product, not to a generic equipment category.

Competition approval and licence status must be checked against the exact current product before quotation and again before final specification. Indoor 5×5 timing/scoring systems are not treated as 3x3 equipment unless separately confirmed.
Applications + project fit
Treat the equipment as one system, not a shopping list.
Backstop + support
The hoop, backboard, ring, padding, mobility and support interface need to work as one approved or project-selected assembly.
Integrated 3x3 timing
The current primary competition route combines the approved portable backstop with its 3x3 shot-clock pathway rather than borrowing an indoor 5×5 timing system.
Outdoor durability
Outdoor equipment needs suitable corrosion, weather and ingress protection for the actual destination and exposure.
Event logistics
Portable equipment still needs access, handling, storage, setup sequence, temporary power and a safe operating envelope.
