Each participant is allowed two (2) practice pitches before their timed round begins.
Only fair balls hit over the outfield fence or designated home run line will be counted as home runs.
Any ball not hit for a home run—including pitches not swung at—will be considered an out.

⛔ Warm-Up Pitch Rule
Once the batter enters the batter’s box, no warm-up pitches are allowed.
All warm-up pitches must be completed before the batter steps into the box.

We recommend bringing enough baseballs to cover the full 1-minute round without delays.
