Think you're a true basketball shooter? Think you've got a top-notch 3-point shot? Did you grow up just shooting around on the driveway and think basketball is fun? Well then this event is for you! The 3-point shooting challenge is a classic basketball competition that will challenge everyone from the best of players to those who just fancy themselves a crack shot. Take out all the other factors of the game for a moment and ‘Let Those Buckets Rain!’

Details

• Each player will have 75 seconds to shoot 30 balls from five (5) stations located outside the 3-point perimeter
• Each station will have five (5) balls each worth 1 point, plus the 'Moneyball' worth 2 points; totalling six (6) basketballs
• Players must shoot all six (6) balls before moving onto the next shooting station
• Two players will go head-to-head; the player with the highest number of 3-pointers, moves onto the next round
• Once the 75 second clock runs out, no more balls may be attempted or will count toward the player’s overall total
• Event staff will assist with the rebounding, and each player will have a ‘Passer’ who will ensure the shooter has a ball when needed

Side Challenge

A secondary basketball challenge will be provided where participants will compete in head-to-head matches playing a basketball video game. This challenge will take place in the gymnasium on a big screen, complete with the gaming console, controllers and couches for comfort.
