Best Answer

Basketball games are started with the opening tip, which is a jump ball. In some competitions, a jump ball is also used to settle held balls (jointly held) and penalty possessions. In others, the alternating possession rule is used.

The Jump Ball.

One player from each team, usually the Center/tallest player, line up at mid-court. the referee tosses the ball up in the air. the two players jump in an attempt to tip the ball to a teammate to gain possession.

5 members of each team position themselves around center court. one member from each team stand in the center circle. a ref tosses the ball up and the 2 players jump and try to tip the ball to their teammates. that's why it's called a "tip off"
