The shooter selects which station will contain the 5 Moneyballs before beginning the round.

Once the round begins, the Moneyball station cannot be changed.

A Shooter’s Game Academy will provide all official competition basketballs.

A shot counts only if the ball is released before the official timer expires.

A ball released after the timer expires does not count.

The shooter’s feet must remain behind the three-point line when the ball is released.

A shot released while the shooter is touching or beyond the three-point line does not count.

The top 40% of shooters advance to the next round.

Scores are recorded by tournament officials.

If a tie occurs for the final qualifying position, a tournament tiebreaker will be conducted before advancement.

10. Late Arrival / Check-In

Shooters are expected to arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled tournament start time.

A shooter who has not checked in by the required check-in time may report to tournament staff until the conclusion of the first round.

If the shooter has not checked in by the end of the first round, the shooter is disqualified and forfeits their entry fee.

11. Finals

The championship round determines the tournament champion.

The shooter with the highest final-round score is the Champion and Prize Winner.

If two or more shooters are tied for first place in the finals, the tied shooters will participate in a 30-second shootout.

The shooter with the highest score during the 30-second shootout becomes the Champion and Prize Winner.

If the 30-second shootout also ends in a tie, additional 30-second shootouts will be conducted until a champion is determined.

Each shooter is responsible for reviewing their score after their round.

Any scoring dispute must be brought to the attention of the Tournament Director immediately after the round.
