Subject: Home Run Derby 2016 - Pick the Winner (and Losers) Posted by: ¤ Mario LeMoose ¤ - [396271110] Mon, Jul 11, 2016, 11:34 2016 STATCAST HOME RUN DERBY FORMAT (Rules copied from mlb.com) • Single-elimination tournament in which the winner of each matchup advances and the loser of each matchup is eliminated. • If the second batter hits more home runs than the first batter in any matchup, he will be declared the winner and not attempt to hit additional home runs. • Four minutes per batter for each round. Clock starts with the release of the first pitch. In the first round and semifinals, each batter is entitled to one 45-second timeout. In the finals, each batter is entitled to two 45-second timeouts. • Thirty seconds of bonus time will be awarded for two home runs that each equal or exceed 440 feet. * * * In each bracket, the higher seed will hit second. * * * Round 1 (with seedings) GROUP A #1 Mark Trumbo, Orioles, vs. #8 Corey Seager, Dodgers #4 Robinson Cano, Mariners, vs. #5 Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins The two winners of this bracket will advance to Round 2. GROUP B #3 Adam Duvall, Reds, vs. #6 Wil Myers, Padres #2 Todd Frazier, White Sox, vs. #7 Carlos Gonzalez, Rockies The two winners of this bracket will advance to Round 2. Round 2 (Semifinal) The two winners of the Round 2 matchups, one from each bracket, will advance to Round 3. Round 3 (Final) The batter who hits more home runs wins the title of Home Run Derby champion. Tiebreaker Ties in any round will be broken by a 60-second swing-off with no stoppage of time or additional time added. If a tie remains after the swing-off, batters will engage in successive three-swing swing-offs until there is a winner. Your challenge: A) Pick the two players who will hit the fewest home runs in Round 1 (not necessarily one from each bracket): 1 point per correct selection. If there is a tie for futility, any two players tied for the fewest home runs will count. One-time "Moment of Zen" bonus of 1 point if one of the players you picked fails to hit any home runs. B) Pick any three of the four players who will advance from Round 1 to Round 2: 2 points per correct selection. C) Pick the two players who will advance from Round 2 to Round 3: 4 points per correct selection. D) Pick the overall winner, i.e., the player who will hit more home runs in Round 3 (final): 8 points per correct selection. First tie breaker: • Predict the total number of home runs hit in Round 3 (closest to the actual total, whether over or under); if the final round goes to a swing-off, those home runs count toward the total. Second tie breaker, if necessary: • Predict the number of home runs hit in Round 3 by the winner (closest to the actual total, whether over or under); if the final round goes to a swing-off, those home runs count toward the winner's total. Entries close with the first pitch to the first participant in the Home Run Derby competition. | |||||||

I object to what you call a "moment of zen". That would be more appropriately when you go all Josh Hamilton and you score over 20 in one round, not all Mike Piazza and fail to hit a single one :) That aside...

| 5 | Seattle Zen ID: 301361318 Mon, Jul 11, 2016, 18:34 | Blue Hen - I don't believe there can be a Frazier v. Myers final, they are both in Group B. The winner of Group A faces Group B winner in finals. | ||||||
