• How It Works

  Contestants may shoot up to 25 total balls, from five separate racks set up along the three point line. One of the five balls on each rack is worth two points if the player makes the shot, called the money ball, each normal ball is worth one point. A perfect score is 30, however no one has ever earned all 30 points since the competition started in 1986. 2007 and 2008 winner Jason Kapono is tied with the 1986 winner Craig Hodges for most points scored in a single round, at 25.
