Paris: Dunk

Wilson Dunk Contest

Participants:

  • Marquie SMITH aka Splashy (USA)

  • Rafal LIPINSKI aka Lipek (POL)

  • Yohan LEMAY aka Air France (FRA)

  • Rounds: Dunkers have 75 seconds and 3 attempts per round to complete a dunk. An attempt means the dunker had the intention to dunk and he or the ball touched the rim and/or the backstop unit. The only exception to the 75-second-rule is the third round of the final where there is no time limit. The 75 seconds start running once the dunker's name is called up. The first successful dunk is considered the valid one. A dunk is considered successful if the ball does not leave the ring in an upward vertical direction after it has left the dunker's hand. The dunks are marked (0, 5-10) by each one of the 3 members of the jury.

  • Tie-breaker: In case of a tie, the tied players dunk again and the jury takes a majority decision.

  • Qualification (if any): Dunkers compete by alphabetical order during 2 rounds. The dunkers with the highest scores advance to the final. In this case, Smith and Lemay were tied after the qualification and Smith advanced after a tie-breaking dunk and a jury decision (Lemay could not covert a dunk before the 75 seconds).
