 game balls) and the fifth one (a red/white/blue ABA-style ball; often nicknamed the money ball) is worth two points. The goal of this contest is to score as many points as possible under the one minute mark. The perfect score is 30 points.

In the qualifying round, each player has a chance to score as many points as possible. The three players with the top scores advance to the finals. The final round is played in the same way as the qualifying round, though players shoot according to the ascending order of their first round scores. In each round, the shots and the score are confirmed by the referee and the television instant replay system. In the case of a tie, additional rounds are played to determine the winner. Contestants compete for a total of $86,000 in prize money. The first place winner receives $35,000, the second place winner receives $22,500 and the third place winner receives $15,000. Fourth to sixth places winners receive $4,500 each. From 1986 to 2002, eight participants were selected to participate in each season's shootout. Since then, the contest has been open to six players each season. The Three-Point Shootout was not held in 1999 due to the league's lockout
