RULES- YOUTH 3 POINT CONTEST

 

Each participant will have 60 seconds to shoot three pointers from various locations. Each successfully made shot using a normal basketball will score one point, and each successfully made shot using a colored (money) basketball will score two points. The total score for each participant will be calculated and the top five in each division will move on to the final round.

Rules

1. Each shooter will have 60 seconds to shoot five balls from five racks positioned around the 3-point line. Each successfully made shot using a normal basketball will score one point, and each successfully made shot using a colored (money) basketball will score two points.

2. One rack will be stationed at the top of the key, one will be on each wing, and one will be in each corner. Each shooter may begin at either corner of the court. The designated

shooting spots along the 3-point arc will be marked with yellow poly spots. The shooter will stand behind the yellow poly spot when shooting.

3. The clock will start with 60 seconds on the clock.

4. The first four balls on each rack are worth one point, and the fifth ball on each rack is worth two points. A shooter must have both feet behind the 3-point line when he/she releases the ball.

5. A shooter’s total score is determined by adding the total points he/she receives for all made baskets from behind the 3-point line.

6. Tie-Breaker – When determining the champion, the following tie-breaking procedure will be followed: The first tiebreaker will be the number of money balls each shooter hit in his/her round. If a tie still exists, the second tiebreaker will be the number of baskets made from the last rack. If a tie still exists, proceed backward through the number of racks until the tie is broken.
