MLB - Who will win the Home Run Derby during All Star Weekend (7/14)?
Eight players, who are generally on the All-Star Game rosters (though this is not necessitated by rule), are selected for the Home Run Derby and compete in a traditional playoff system where the players with the most home runs advance to the next round. Each player gets ten "outs" per round, where an out is defined as any swing that is not a home run in this case. Should a tie exist between players at the end of any round, there will be a five swing swing-off to determine who will advance.
As of Sunday, there were 7 confirmed participants with the likelihood of an additional player being added prior to the event (thus the "other" option).

Thanks!
Just checking ... the game is tomorrow, Tuesday, beginning at 8:00PM EDT, but you want the Suspend Time (and date) to be 8:00PM EDT today -- is that correct?
