"To have someone gets to do something"
I know the basic difference between the expressions "to get some to do something" and "to have someone do something" in a general sense. However, in the sentence below "have" and "get" have been used in a single sentence and "get" has been conjugated as "gets". Is that a correct sentence?

"I dare you to stand against the wall and have everyone else gets to throw a ball at you"

I infer something like "Letting the people be in a position throwing a ball at you" or "Being in a position by giving a chance to everyone to throw a ball at you" Either way I couldn't grasp the structure "To have someone gets to do something" quite well.

Answer

That's because it's wrong. You could rescue it by reworking it as either "I dare you to stand against the wall and have everyone throw a ball at you" or ""I dare you to stand against the wall while everyone else gets to throw a ball at you".
