How Scoring Works

Each dunk is scored on a 0 to 10 scale across seven categories, with weighted importance placed on the most critical elements of performance:

1. 01
   Difficulty
2. 02
   Execution
3. 03
   Creativity and Originality
4. 04
   Power and Clean Finish
5. 05
   Vertical Leap
6. 06
   Completion (Attempts)
7. 07
   Crowd Reaction

Judges score each category in 0.5 point increments, and the weighted total produces the final score.

Judging Format

A panel of five judges evaluates every dunk.

To ensure fairness and eliminate outliers:

• The highest and lowest scores are removed
• The remaining three scores are averaged
• The final score is capped at 10

Attempts Matter

Dunkman rewards athletes who deliver under pressure.

Each dunker has 90 seconds and three attempts to complete their dunk:

A perfect score of 10 can only be achieved if the dunk is completed on the first attempt.

Missed Dunk Scoring

If a dunk is not completed after three attempts, it is still evaluated, but only on elements that can be judged without a make.
