2 BALL CONTEST
In 1998, the NBA organization replaced the Slam Dunk contest with 2Ball.
In 2ball, players alternate shooting from their choice of seven locations on the floor during the sixty second competition. Players must shoot from one of seven locations marked on the floor. Each location is worth a different point value (2-8 points) based on its distance from the floor. There are bonuses and violations. The 10 point bonus is given to the team that scores from each of the seven shooting spots. The 1 point violation is deducted when any team began before the official whistles, and the 10 points violations happens when any team finishes their 60 seconds without shoot from each position.
In the first edition, the NBA made good use of the contest to promote the WNBA. The NBA introduced them in the NBA All-Star Weekend with this contest.
Eight teams participated, representing all eight WNBA franchises. Each team had a man and a woman, who played in the same city.
This contest was replaced in 2002 for the Hoop-it-up
tournament, and finally in 2004 with the Shooting
Stars Competition.
