There will be no personal basketballs allowed in the building. There will be a short warm up or practice for all contestants 20 minutes before the start time.
Contestants will have 3 warm-up shots followed by 25 consecutive free throw attempts from the foul line. To break a tie, contestants will take a second round of five free throws. No warmup shots are permitted for the tie breaker rounds. Successive rounds of 5 free throws each continue until a winner emerges.
All Contestants will remain in their age group on the floor for the duration of the contest. This will allow the contest to go faster and smoother. All spectators should remain in the bleachers and be respectful to all contestants.
