    • Everyone will have the same bats to choose from to level the playing field.  May be best HR hitter win!
  • Players will be randomly chosen for their position in the first round. 
  • Each batter will receive 7 outs. An out is any ball swung at that is not a homerun. 
  • The 5 players with the most homeruns will advance to the second round. 
  • In the event that there is a tie for the final positions, it will be at the discretion of the Homerun Derby Director on how the final spots will be determined. (Either allow all tied players to advance or a 3 out swing off to detemine positioning.) 
  • The Second round will also consist of a 7 out round with the top 2 players advancing to the Championship round. 
  • Homeruns will not carry over to proceeding rounds.
