THE TEAM COMPETITION will be the AROUND THE HORN competition (9-players)  

•    Each team will have 9 position players.

•    Each outfielder will have a base placed in a standard outfield spot which they will have to touch before they can throw.

•    Each infielder will have to touch the base before they can throw.

•    A wrong throw must be thrown back to that player and player must re throw to correct spot

•    A 5 second penalty will be given for each missed base

•    How the competition works

•    Pitcher throws to catcher

•    Catcher to second (shortstop covers)

•    Shortstop to first

•    First to third

•    Third to second (second baseman covers)

•    Second to right field

Time will start when the catcher has the ball and steps on the plate. Time will end when catcher has the ball and steps on the plate.

Make sure you have players backing up each throw, your other players my retrieve a missed ball and give it back to the player that has to throw it. The player backing it up may not throw the ball to the next base only the player that is playing that base. The player 

backing up the play must be one of your nine player's being used in the competition

THE INDIVIDUAL COMPETITIONS will be the HOME RUN DERBY & GOLDEN ARM competitions!  Max of 4-players per team can participate in the individual competitions.

HOME RUN DERBY:  Must provide your own COACH pitcher and shaggers.  Each player gets 8-pitches or 5-swings, whichever comes first.  If a tie occurs, players will have their balls over the fence measured to determine winners.  

GOLDEN ARM:  Player will stand 150-feet from home plate in CF and have 4-throws to try and hit a target at Home Plate.  Most targets hit wins.  Balls      can hit target on the fly or only bounce ONE time to be counted as a hit target.  In case of a tie, we will go to sudden death, one try for each player tied    until we have a winner.  Some age divisions may be moved closer to target.
