COMMISSIONER'S CHALLENGE: 2010 Legends League Home Run Derby -2nd Half
ENTRY DEADLINE: Thursday, July 22 7:30pm ET
DETAILS: It's time to wipe the slate clean and start fresh...part two of the Legends League Home Run Derby is here. If you didn't perform so well in the first half of the derby, this is your chance for redemption.
Here are the rules:
Batters have been divided into four brackets A, B, C, D based on their 2010 HRs
A – Jose Bautista, Josh Hamilton, Miguel Cabrera, Joey Votto
B – Adam Dunn, Corey Hart, Albert Pujols, Paul Konerko,
C – Prince Fielder, Vladimir Guerrero, Adrian Gonzalez, Ryan Howard, Mark Reynolds, Vernon Wells, Carlos Pena, Carlos Quentin
D – All other batters
1) Each owner must put together a team of eight batters:
- One (1) A player
- One (1) B player
- Two (2) C players
- Four (4) D players (any batters except those in categories A,B,C)
2) This is not a draft. You may choose any players you want.
3) Your top seven hitters' HRs are counted toward your total. Your lowest HR hitter's total is dropped and will be used as a tiebreaker if two or more owners are tied at the end of the event.
4) The season is divided into two halves-- First Half/Second Half. The person who leads the HR Derby at the end of the regular season is the Second Half champ.
5) Batters' HR totals hit in the first half of the season will not count toward the owner's total. Only HRs hit after Thursday will count.
6) The owner with the most HRs at the end of the regular season wins the Second Half of the challenge.
7) The owner who compiles the most overall home runs throughout the season (First Half/Second Half total) is our Home Run Derby Champion. He will be awarded 10 bonus Commissioner's Cup points.
