Epic Pro Bowl dodgeball: It will be a multi-round tournament of classic dodgeball, with four teams of five players each. It will begin with the attacks and defenses of the AFC and the NFC competing against each other, and the AFC vs. The NFC will end in the final round. The overall winner receives all three points.

Round lightning: It is a new event for 2023. Each conference will select 16 players to compete in a three-part contest with another three point game. The first event is “Splash Catch,” where team members from each conference throw water balloons at each other over increasing distances. The event then transitions to “High Stakes”, challenging players ahead to catch a punk from a JUGS machine. In the final phase, the rest of the players go for the “Thrill of the Spill”, where the players aim at the cubes hanging above the opponent’s coach’s head. The first team to throw the cube wins.

The longest record: Four players from each conference will compete for longest off the golf tee. Each player gets three swings, and the winner is decided by the longest drive within predetermined limits. The winner gets the three points.

Pass with accuracy: Each of the three quarters from each conference will compete in a one-minute competition testing their accuracy. The quarterback with the most targets wins the three points for his conference.

Best catch: Two players from each conference compete to show off their creativity by showcasing receptions filmed at iconic locations around Las Vegas. An online fan vote will decide the favorite from each conference, and the two finalists will compete in the next round on Sunday.
