Steph vs. Sabrina 3-Point Contest rules  

This event will follow the same general rules format as the standard 3-Point Contest. Both participants will go through four racks with four game balls and one money ball on each. A fifth rack will have all money balls and the contestants can choose their spot for that portion. There are also two long-range shots. The game balls are worth one point, the money balls are worth two and the long-range shots award three points. 

The official rules state that Curry will shoot from NBA range, while Ionescu will utilize the WNBA 3-point line. However, Ionescu told reporters that she practices from NBA range and plans to use that line as well. She will use a regulation WNBA ball, while Curry will use a standard NBA ball.
