In the event of a tie, players are decided by sudden death: the first successful or missed 3-point shot determines the winner or the eliminated player. The shooter is chosen either by mutual agreement between the two players or by a coin toss.

The contest ends with an exhibition showdown between the U13 champion and the U15 champion.
