Competition Divisions:

Basketball Hot Shot is an individual age competition which is divided into both men and women divisions.

Tournament:

Each participant will be allowed two rounds, one-minute each round, to make as many baskets as possible from any of the five designated spots. The competition will start under the basket in a lay-up shot.

Format:

1. Tennis shoes are needed for this event.
2. There will be a referee at each basket.
3. The basket will be 10 feet high.
4. Participants must rebound their own shots.
5. Consecutive shots are not allowed from the lay-up spot. Once a lay-up is made, the shooter must move to an area of a different point value and attempt a shot before trying for another lay-up. If a player fails to move to a different spot after a successful lay-up, all successive lay-ups attempted and made will not count until the player moves to and attempts from another point value/area.
6. Consecutive shots are allowed from any spot except the lay-up spot.

Scoring:

1. Each basket is worth one to five points depending on the spot from which it is taken:
2. Men: Lay-up (one point); 15′ shots (three points); 18′ shots (four points); 20′ shots (five points).
3. Women: Lay-up (one point); 12′ shots (three points); 15′ shots (four points); 17′ shots (five points).
4. A bonus of 15 points will be awarded if a shooter attempts a shot from each one of the designated spots during a round. This bonus is awarded only once per one-minute round.
5. The best single round score will determine the final score. In case of a tie, the best second round score will determine the winner.
