2014 3x3 WT - Beijing - Competition format

 

The 12 teams are divided into four pools of three teams playing in a round-robin first round against their two respective pool opponents. The top-two placed teams from each pool advance to a standard knock-out round which starts at the quarter-finals stage. The best team qualifies for the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Final in Tokyo on 11-12 October.

 

 

The best dunker of the qualifying round - organised on the first day and restricted to FIBA 3x3 World Tour players - joins two invited professional dunkers for the final on the second day. Each finalist has three attempts per dunk with the first successful one considered the valid one. They all make two dunks and the two dunkers who get the best grades from the jury qualify for the final round where they compete with two more dunks.

 

 

The Samsung Shoot-out is the official FIBA 3x3 World Tour shooting contest. It takes place on the second day. A maximum of one player per team participates in the qualifying round where players shoot ten balls from the top of the arc in the shortest amount of time. The best four qualify for the final where the players shoot three racks of three balls worth one point from three different spots behind the arc and one rack of three ‘moneyballs’ worth three points from the end line (11 metres) against a 33-second shot-clock.
