2014 All-Star Game: Home Run Derby open thread

Let's watch some dingers!

Now with all teams off for the next few days, the All-Star Break has finally begun with tonight's Home Run Derby. There are no Yankees participating this year, but let's still all come together and watch some dingers anyway. This year's Home Run Derby is operating under a few different rules in order to liven the event up just a bit:

Round 1

• Ten participants total; five participants representing each league.
• Batting order will be determined prior to the event. Hitter No. 1 for the NL will hit first followed by Hitter No. 1 for the AL (home team). This order will continue for hitters Nos. 2-5 for each league, with the NL going first followed by the AL.
• Each participant will receive seven outs.
• The player from each league who hits the most home runs (AL 1; NL 1) will automatically advance to round three (semifinals).
• The next two participants with the most home runs from each league (AL 2; AL 3 / NL 2; NL 3) advance to Round 2.

Round 2

• The two participants advancing from Round 1 for each league will compete against each other (AL 2 vs. AL 3 / NL 2 vs. NL 3).
• The NL matchup will occur first, followed by the AL matchup, with NL 2 and AL 2 choosing if they want to hit first or second.
• Each participant will receive seven outs.
• The winners from the Round 2 matchups (one from each league) will advance to Round 3 (semifinals).

Round 3 (Semifinals)

• The top seed from each league (AL 1; NL 1) will face the winner from his league's Round 2 matchup.
• The NL matchup will occur first, followed by the AL matchup, with NL 1 and AL 1 choosing if they want to hit first or second.
• Each participant will receive seven outs.
• The participant from each league with the most home runs will advance to the Finals.

Round 4 (Finals)

• The semifinal winners (one player from each league) will compete for the crown of Home Run Derby champion.
• The batting order will be determined by a coin flip, which will be held at a meeting at home plate between the two finalists and their league captains (note that a finalist and team captain could be the same participant).
• Each finalist will receive seven outs.

Tiebreaker(s)

If two or more players are tied for advancement into the next round or for the championship, each player will receive three swings to hit as many home runs as possible. If they are still tied after three swings, they will each take one swing. This process is repeated if necessary until one player wins the swing-off.
