NBA All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City begins Friday with the celebrity game and Rising Stars game, then continues with All-Star Saturday Night contests and the All-Star Game on Sunday at Vivint Arena, home of the Utah Jazz.
The three competitions will be held in this order: Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest and Slam DunkThe Skills Challenge consists of three teams, with three players each, and is three rounds: relay, passing and shooting. The winning team for each round will receive challenge points, and the team with the most challenge points after the three rounds will be the winner.
The second round is team passing where all three players compete at same time. In a 30-second time limit, the team must make at least one pass attempt at each target and cannot attempt consecutive passes at the same target. The different targets have various points attached to them. The team with the most points earns 100 challenge points.
If teams are tied in challenge points after the three competitions, the tied teams will attempt half-court shots with all three players competing. The first team will attempt shots until one is made or 1:30 time elapses. The second team will have to beat the first team's time. If there is still a tie, the round will be repeated.There are five ball racks around the 3-point arc.
There will also be two ball pedestals with one ball apiece at"Starry Range" between racks 2 and 3 and racks 3-4 for deep shots. Those are worth 3 points apiece for made buckets.
