Entry Period: Contest entry period begins approximately at 8:00:00 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) on 7/05/23 and ends at 8:00:00 PM ET on 7/10/23 (“Contest Entry Period”).

Player Replacements: Eight (8) MLB players will initially be selected by MLB to participate in the 2023 T-Mobile Home Run Derby (the “Home Run Derby”). In the event an MLB player drops out of the Home Run Derby prior to the start of the event, a replacement MLB player will be named by MLB. As soon as the replacement MLB player is named, he will also be inserted into the Contest, replacing the MLB player that dropped out. It is your responsibility to resubmit a new bracket if you believe any MLB player replacement will impact your selections for any matchup, so be alert! By way of example only, if you select Player A to win his first round matchup and then lose his second round matchup, and Player A is replaced by Player J prior to the start of the Home Run Derby, Player J will automatically replace Player A as your first round selection. You may resubmit a new bracket at any time prior to the end of the Contest Entry Period.

Scoring: Scoring in the Contest is as follows: you will receive points ("Points") based on official results, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, as follows:

• Round 1 correct choice: Five (5) Points for each correct Round 1 choice.
• Round 2 correct choice: Ten (10) Points for each correct Round 2 choice
• Home Run Derby Champion correct choice: Fifteen (15) Points for the correct Home Run Derby champion choice
• Correct choice of the player who will hit the longest home run in the Home Run Derby, as measured by Statcast: Ten (10) Points
• Correct choice of the distance of the longest home run hit in the Home Run Derby, as measured by Statcast: Thirty-five (35) Points

A perfect score would be one hundred (100) Points if you correctly select (a) the finish in all three (3) rounds of the Home Run Derby, (b) the player who will hit the longest home run in the Home Run Derby, as measured by Statcast, and (c) the distance of the longest home run hit in the Home Run Derby, as measured by Statcast.

NOTE: Only home runs officially scored as home runs in the Home Run Derby will be counted for purposes of this Contest.

Grand Prize Winner Selection: The eligible participant, if any, to accumulate one hundred (100) Points, as determined and verified by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, will be deemed the potential winner of the Grand Prize (as defined below). In the event of a tie for the Grand Prize, the Tiebreakers will be used among the remaining tied participants to determine one (1) Grand Prize winner (as explained in the “Tiebreakers” section below). Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the potential Grand Prize winner will be declared the official winner of the Grand Prize. In the event that the selected potential Grand Prize winner declines the Grand Prize, is not eligible to accept the Grand Prize, does not comply with the terms of these Official Rules or is not available for any reason when called, their Grand Prize opportunity will be forfeited and Administrator, at its sole discretion, may notify an alternate potential Grand Prize winner, if any, that accumulated one hundred (100) Points, as determined and verified by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion.

First Prize Winner Selection: If no participant accumulates one hundred (100) Points, as determined and verified by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, the eligible participant, if any, who accumulates the most Points as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion will be deemed the potential winner of the First Prize (as defined below). In the event of a tie for the First Prize, the Tiebreakers will be used among the remaining tied participants to determine one (1) First Prize winner (as explained in the “Tiebreakers” section below). Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, the potential First Prize Winner will be declared the official winner of the First Prize. In the event that the selected potential First Prize winner declines the First Prize, is not eligible to accept the First Prize, does not comply with the terms of these Official Rules or is not available for any reason when called, their First Prize opportunity will be forfeited and Administrator, at its sole discretion and time permitting, may select and notify an alternate potential First Prize winner, if any, in accordance with these Official Rules.

Tiebreakers: In the event of a tie for the Grand Prize or First Prize, the Tiebreakers will be used among the remaining tied participants in the following order:

1. Tiebreaker 1 will be applied first. The entrant coming closest to picking the total number of home runs hit in the entire Home Run Derby will be deemed the winner of Tiebreaker 1. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) all home runs hit in any tiebreaking “swing-off” rounds will count toward this final total number of home runs; and (b) it does not matter if the pick is above or below the total number of home runs hit. For example, if 200 home runs are hit in the entire Home Run Derby by all 8 MLB players, and one tied participant picks 198 and another tied participant selects 201 home runs, the participant who picked 201 home runs would be deemed the winner of Tiebreaker 1.
2. If there is still a tie after Tiebreaker 1 is applied, Tiebreaker 2 will be applied. The participant coming closest to picking the total number of home runs hit by the winning MLB player in the entire Home Run Derby will be deemed the winner of Tiebreaker 2. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) all home runs hit in any tiebreaking “swing-off” rounds will count toward this final total number of home runs; and (b) it does not matter if the pick is above or below the total number of home runs hit. For example, if 50 home runs are hit by the winning MLB player in the entire Home Run Derby, and one tied participant selects 49 home runs and another tied participant selects 53 home runs, the participant who picked 49 home runs would be deemed the winner of Tiebreaker 2.
3. In the event that the tie for the Grand Prize is still not broken after applying the Tiebreakers above, the Grand Prize will be divided evenly among all remaining tied, eligible entrants.
4. In the event that the tie for the First Prize is still not broken after applying the tiebreakers above, Sponsor will administer a timed baseball trivia quiz, testing the tied participants' knowledge of Major League Baseball, without assistance of any kind, until the tie is broken.

Winner Notification: By entering, participants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and to the decisions of the Sponsor and Administrator, which will be final and binding in all respects.
