The NBA’s Slam Dunk Contest is the last specialty event held at the NBA All-Star Weekend, which also includes a shooting stars and skills competition as well as the three-point shootout.

This year, the rules have been tweaked. The competition is returning to a two-round competition after last year's event featured a team format.

Five judges will score each dunk from 6-10. Competitors are given three chances to complete a dunk.

A made dunk can’t be replaced, and anyone using props (like Blake Griffin using a car in 2012) must get league approval. A “dunk-off” will be used if players are tied at the end of the first round.

Instant replay can be used if a rule is in question.
