<P> Some places and cities in the United States have organized streetball programs, operated similarly to midnight basketball programs . Many cities also host their own weekend - long streetball tournaments, with Hoop - It - Up and the Houston Rockets' Blacktop Battle being two of the most popular . Since the mid-2000s, streetball has seen an increase in media exposure through television shows such as ESPN's Street Basketball and City Slam, as well as traveling exhibitions such as the AND1 Mixtape Tour, YPA, and Ball4Real . </P> <P> Streetball rules vary widely from court to court . </P> <P> Players typically divide into teams by alternating choices . </P> <P> No referees are employed, so almost invariably a "call your own foul" rule is in effect, and a player who believes he has been fouled, simply needs to call out "Foul!", and play will be stopped, with the ball awarded to the fouled player's team (free throws are not awarded in streetball). </P>
