Rainy Day in the Island

[Gturner94]

So I went to the park this year on a rainy Friday. Cant remember the date sorry. It was a normal day untill i went over to the Three Point Shootout. There was a man there who was amazing. He played atleast 20 times while I was there and about half of those timeshe made 14/15. It went from normal to an amazing time.

Cool story, bro.

Sorry, but there isn't much to say here...

[Gturner94]

yeah i knew there couldnt be too much of a response but I almost got to see one of the few 15/15 on Three Point Shootout.

Was his last name Dowdell? That family, it seems, dominates that game.

[Gturner94]

yeah i know they do but i didnt know if it was one of them

Since I've never stopped to watch the 3-pt shootout game, can someone confirm/fill in the details?

- It looks like 3 shooting stations

- I'm guessing based upon the 14/15 that there are 5 balls per station

- I know there is a clock, what is the time limit?

- Is there a bigger prize for getting a 15/15?

There is a forty second time limit for them to shoot I think it's three normal balls and "the money ball" which is worth two. If you make all 15 I believe the prize is a Sony Playstation 3.

Doesn't the price vary with demand, like most of the other pay attractions?

[Purplehaze]

I do not play games usually. But one of these days I will try that one. Seems like I can shoot hoops in Rivertown and always win but the other shooting games in the park I can not hit a lick. I even hit the 3 pointers. However under a time clock I would falter miserably.

If that is the case, is that not just a form of variable pricing?

And I thought that last year, at least, the price was frequently more on busier days...or later in the day.

I'm with Terpy. I am pretty sure it's variable, whether in time or money.

I guess that does make sense. Ive just never seen the price more than $5. Thanks for clearing stuff up Terpy
