Every afternoon I take a break from work to shoot around on a hoop nearby.

The court is a part of a residential complex and there aren't really any other courts nearby. This has been going on for a couple of months now.

Also the best part about practicing in the afternoon on a workday is that the court is absolutely empty.

Then one day, while I'm at the court. The gaurds stop me and tell me that since i don't stay there, I'm not allowed to play.

I tried to argue my case saying that since, the court is not in use. It hopefully shouldn't be bothering anyone. I even offered to pay for the chance to use the court for an hour a day.

But he still argues that rules are rules. Any tips on dealing with such a situation?
