- Shot #4 – 18-Foot shot from right side baseline

- Shot #6 – Shot from just inside half-court
- Each shot must be made before the next player begins shooting (players have unlimited attempts for each shot).
- There was a two minute time limit to make the 6 shots for each team.
- Since 2007, the contest has 2 rounds, with the two fastest first round times advancing to the final.
