COMMISSIONER'S CHALLENGE: Home Run Derby
ENTRY DEADLINE: Sunday, April 5th Noon ET
DETAILS: Here it is, the Legends League Home Run Derby! This event will last all season and will reward the winner 100 Commissioner Cup points. Here's how you play:
-Pick the best slugger on your Legends League team
-There are four qualifying rounds, one month each, April, May, June, July thru All-Star Break.
-The top two sluggers with the most HRs each round advance their owners to the semi-finals that start after the All-Star Break
-The semi-final round lasts from All-Star Break thru August
-The top four batters advance to the finals for a shootout in September
-You can swap batters between rounds, but not in the middle of a round
-Sundays are "Gold Ball" days, meaning home runs hit on Sundays count double
Notes: The batter you choose must be on your team when a round begins. He does not have to be on your team for the duration of the round. You can swap batters between rounds, so if your guy gets hurt, you're not stuck with him for the whole competition. Or if your slugger does poorly in April, you can either send him back out in May or try someone else.
